Sitting backstage at the Revesby RSL Club
Dad’s on stage right now
(I definitely have a gift for the blurry live pics don’t I?)
He’s having a big ol’ sing-a-long with 500 of his closest mates
I just spoke to Glenn at half time
Glenn has almost been to more of my shows than I have
He’s a big fan of the blog, so I told him I’d put his pic in
Superstar!
And now I’m back here wondering what to blog about
This is my best “I dunno” face
It actually looks a lot like my “I just farted” face
And my “what do you mean there’s no sprinkle donuts left” face
Hmmm…. might be time to get me a new face
Anyhoooooo…
I’ve just remembered last night’s show in North Sydney
What a corker!
I don’t have any photos to go with this story
But if you use your imagination, you can visualize how it all went down
North Sydney is a fairly well-to-do area
It was a sold out show and the crowd was having a lot to drink an amazing time
In particular, there was a lady in the front row
She was absolutely wasted going off
She was pretty tipsy when I was on – so she was a fucking mess nice and blitzed by the time Dad came on stage
Standing up, dancing, singing along badly loudly
OK, cut to the chase
She spewed
A lot
All over the front row
The poor lady sitting at the next table totally copped it
All over her previously awesome, and stupidly expensive shoes
And she was totally cool about it
But the highlight of my night came about 4 songs later
When a guy all the way up the back of the room got excited about Dad playing his favourite song
It was ‘Santa Claus’ I think
He came running down to the front of the stage waving his hands, yelling and singing
I think he was trying to just get to Dad and maybe shake his hand
We never found out
‘Cause he went arse over tit when he slipped in the vomit patch left by the night’s previous dancing fool
IT was fucking gold
I couldn’t even feel bad for him
It took everything I had to stop the wee from runnig down my leg
I think my main reason for laughing so hard was because this kind of shit does NOT happen in places like North Sydney
Kalgoorlie yes
North Sydney no
I should have known it was going to be an interesting night when we got there
And there were 2 down syndrome kids on the stage
They got separated from their bingo group that were playing in another part of the complex
They read the backdrop and were running around in circles singing the word DILLIGAF over and over
I told them it meant, “DO I LOOK LIKE I GOT A FISH?”
I know
I totally lied to the disabled kids
Like I was going to heaven anyway
** DILLIGAF really = do I look like I give a fuck?
I think a camera prop on stage for those “Golden Moments” must be the go and in the ‘From Where I Stand’ Album…(Michael King & I wrote and recorded that song, BTW…The things we observe from the front…We are the Entertained, they are The Entertainment! 😉
