When I went to Chicago, I was not looking for the pissed-up, pissed-off pretentious acting Barney of the old days who would not address the audience (except to insult them), then play 8 or 9 songs (or until some eqipment broke down), leave the stage without saying a word, and no encore!
From 3 16 and 5 11, I was looking for the fun-loving, freaky-dancing Barney we all know and love. When the first beats of BLT started, I said to my fiancee "Check his dancing here, it's class!" She agreed.

Oh, I dunno - yes he's very cheery these days, but I still long for a return of the glares of withering contempt for the "punters" and the vicious put-downs. I quite enjoyed Hooky's "come on you cockney wankers!" at Finsbury, though clearly the "cockney" bit was a little beyond the pale....
Hurt my feelings, he did.
What would look sillier? 50yr old man dancing and having fun, or looking moody and angry like it was still the 80's.
I'll take the dancing anytime.
In my mind, genius which barney is has the privelege of looking like a fool.
I think i finally realized the genius of new order this weekend when blue monday played at a bar i went to this weekend. About 90% of the place was dancing and looking like asses, including myself.
i am sorry that i ever said anything bad about new order.
please like me again fellas? please forgive me!
i am SO sorry.... I will NEVER say anything bad about them again....
never....
i was drunk when i posted, i didn't mean it.... swear to god.
new order rock.
they never do ANYTHING wrong, EVER....
Sumner's new dance is CUTE and ENDEARING, and shows how much FUN the band is having nowadays.... and, plus, he has danced like that before, so it is HISTORIC as well.... like al jarvis made me understand, I just have to be honest with myself and not worry about appearances.... it is all clear now....

You are turning into the No.1 Keyboard Warrior here, aren't you, Mr T?!
Funny, but three weeks ago, in a thread which was closed before I got chance to respond, the thread about Tim's great poptastic announcement, you actually declared you were no longer gonna hate Tim and start hating me instead?! Not sure why, exactly, but you did say words to that effect.
And there was little ol' me in TGI Fridays 10 days ago, and apparently you were in the same venue, but you never ventured over once to air your ills, whatever they might've been.
Peace, bro. Whatever your concerns, we can't all think the same.
well, hey, i keep my word!
and nobody else seems to be posting lately, so it just looks like i am posting a lot.... where is everyone?
(i am just trying to get my post count up, and knew i could rely on you to keep me nuts here.... without aj wells, i have to argue with SOMEONE!)
it is never personal, despite what i type...
:)
