SPECIAL GUESTS
What used to be known as a support act. When listening to support
acts at concerts, look out for the drunken teenager nearby who has
decided that he doesn't like them, and is demanding almost
incomprehensibly that they "geeeeett offffff!" This demand will
even continue between bands, when the PA is playing music off one
of the roadies' CDs. When the main act actually comes on, he will
follow this up with "oooiiyaaaaaeeaahh!" type screaming (now
identified as being a regression to ancient caveman hunting calls),
shouting himself hoarse in the vain hope that the star hears him
and will be moved to personally come up to his seat and say hello.
And of course clapping along with the songs, half a second out of
sync, while gently swaying in the breeze of the indoor auditorium.
Yes, all these things and more happened at the Lenny Kravitz
concert the other night. Lenny Kravitz rolled into town with 14
trucks - 4 for the equipment, 10 for his ego. After some great
music, Lenny declared that there "is only one God!" Problem is, he
thinks it's him.
