So Barrie gets Live 8, good for them. They beat out Toronto for the gig and a late push to have the concert at the Normodome in Mitchieville. Listen......you can still hear the weeping and the wailing and the bitching and the moaning from the citizens of our fair city. It makes me laugh. Ha!
So what if Barrie isn’t considered a world class city, they were better prepared to host a concert of this magnitude. All we did was sit around with our collective fingers up our arseholes trying to find a suitable venue. Park Place, formerly Molson’s Park, is as good as any. We have only ourselves to blame.
Summer’s here. Tuesday in fact was the arrival and the longest day of the year soon followed. Yes the wonderful Summer Solstice. Ahh God bless those Pagans.
Boo! Man Group. Monday at the premier performance of the blue hued musicians, Blue Man Group, protesters created havoc across the street from the....Barrie? You're kidding right? Oh yeah well why don't you just move there!
Good Lord, J. Lo is now developing jewelry for animals. Why doesn’t this woman just go away?
Tom Cruise had a trying week A War of the Words, if you will. First he was accosted by a comedy troupe at the London premier. They were posing as reporters and squirted water in the face of the male half of TomKat. Later in the week Tom’s beliefs were called into question when comparison were made between the movie and......Barrie? You mean that roadside stop on the way to cottage country. That Barrie?
Hey my friends, we must get off this Barrie issue. Listen, I've been to that venue many times. I’ve seen stellar performances from Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, A Perfect Circle, The Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Tool on a small side stage, and yes even Spinal Tap.
I’ve witnessed lack luster sets from Sound Garden, Our Lady Peace, and others too many to mention.
Sat in the beer tent during Sarah McLachlan, and Tragically Hip. (They were new. I didn’t know who they were yet)
I’ve even walked out on Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, Primus, and the aforementioned Sound Garden ( I couldn’t for OLP because they went on before Billy Corgan and the boys and one girl.) It will be ok, really.
Besides we have Gay Pride week. I love the concept. I’ve never been down to the parade, but one of these years I swear I’ll make it, and I don’t even chug cock. Why am I so enamored with Gay Pride if I’m not gay, you ask? Because it’s an easy reminder for my annual prostate check-up.
Do you hear that sound? That’s the sound of Karla Homolka being released.
Turning to the sports page, the basket ball finals between the Spurs and the Pistons, went to seven games for the first time in years . In fact, the last time it happened, Forrest Gump was still in theaters, O.J. was starting his search for the real killers and Bill hadn’t even met Monica yet.
And how about that race last week? I'm talkin' F1 with only 6 cars. That’s right and the crowd were pissed. There was something wrong with the Good Year tires. GY couldn't vouch for their safty so 23 drivers were disqualified, leaving a field of six. Now there's some good racin'. What would you look at if everyone went into the pits at the same time?
Have you heard T.O.’s new slogan. The new effort to bring in tourists in hordes. If You haven’t here it is. Are you Ready? Are you sure?
Toronto Unlimited. Now give me 4 million dollars. O.K. make it 3 . I’ll save you a million from what city council paid for this brand. Should have been Toronto Unlimited unless you want to go to Live 8.
Our beloved mayor. No not the one from Mitchieville, the other one, David Miller the mayor of Toronto. Apparently He’s a hero. Yup talked a guy down who was hanging precariously over a balcony with a knife to his throat at Metro Hall. What they failed to mention, the man was distraught and up there in the first place because of that horrible Toronto Unlimited motto
Jesus! No wonder Barrie won.
