Last year, during my visit to Blighty, I did the shopping trip to Camden Market for my DMs. I have said DMs, have just in fact taken them off, and bought (with my friend Anna's insistance) this lovely purple hat - somewhat like a woven bowler - with a yellow sunflower in it.
I love this hat. It's now become an extension of my person. I cannot imagine life sans hat. Some months ago, sadly, the sunflower disappeared and I haven't been able to find it.
Until now.
Amidst the flashing of lights the colours of lime soda and grape Kool-Aid, I found out where my flower went.
He steps out on stage wearing a purple hat Just like mine, and in it is proudly stuck a sunflower Just like the one I used to have.
Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes stole my flower! The bastard!
Though the show kicked much ass, I still had the urge to jump on stage and demand my flower back. The rotter!
Noel and Liam Gallagher managed not to engage in fisticuffs, which was relieving. Apparently, Noel set a list of rules for Liam before the tour started.
The Commandments According To Noel Gallagher<
- Thou shalt not throw cigarettes at me.
- Thou shalt be in thy hotel room by midnight.
- Thou shalt not have any alcoholic beverage before 10 p.m.
- Thou shalt bring thy pregnant girlfriend on tour with thee.
This show, they covered I Am The Walrus, and I must admit that it was fab. Those boys make no bones about wearing their influences on their sleeves.
I was never an Oasis fan, and I can't say I am now either, but my opinion's certainly switched. It was a good show.
Now, how to get my flower back...
This song was absolutely amazing live. It's off the Black Crowes' new album Lions, which I will most definitely be acquiring a copy of at my earliest opportunity.
Soul Singin'
I've been down
Cascading and blue without a sound
Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown
So feed me milk and honey lay me down
Lay me down
Look around
Show me holy places not yet found
Lets disappear and we'll hide underground
And we'll get high and we'll feel safe and sound
It comes around
Around
Got my soul singing my soul singing
Soul singing got my soul singing
Got my soul singing my soul singing
Soul singing got my soul singing
Got my soul singing my soul singing
Soul singing got my soul singing
Got my soul singing my soul singing
Soul singing got my soul singing
Come on now come on now
Home bound
Tired of tired of running town to town
Tired of my heart turned upside down
Now my life a smile and not a frown
The sound
The sound
