I didn't like that review much, with comments like this :

Quote:
Anyway, found myself involuntarily going to see The Sparks play at The Forum last night. What? You never heard of them? Same here, my friend. I should have smelled something rotten right from the beginning though...

Quote:
Anyway, the crowd - comprising middle-aged women with too posh an accent and mostly gay men - loved it. I loved it too, I earned myself some good tips (but felt slightly greased up in the process, don’t ask me why.)

Quote:
Would you pay to see the Sparks? No. Would I? No. But maybe your parents will. Just in case, the band will be performing again tonight at the Forum. Doors open at 7 PM. Bring your own KY.


Obviously a younger person. What were they doing to earn tips in the Forum? Bar staff? Cloakroom attendant? I can't think of any service there, for which you might leave a tip. Maybe tip meant advice?

My pleasure - I was trying to enjoy the gigs vicariously :))
Sjadey: This one was interesting to me, since I thought that all the ones who go to a Sparks gig know at least a little about the band
The guy is young, yes (see About/Who's Who), but being young doesn't mean to be deaf or, well, snobbish.

The lot of those photos are brilliant. :)

Top notch performances, as always. They really never do disappoint me, however.

Yes, yes! Russell is the master of tiny thighs and tight pants (I couldn't help but notice) and Ron really has the most gorgeous facial structure I've seen in quite some time. Always a pleasure - they're really a couple of nice looking guys.

(And yes! That's quite true. I guess we're just awesome like that to meet up in likely places, hehe.)

Jill,

Thanks for compiling all these images. I logged on for what I thought might be 15 minutes earlier and have spent 3 hours transfixed by all photos and footage.

Great job!

You're welcome, Bobby Muir. I wish there were much more reviews... so far I couldn't find any newspaper reviews, except for the one from The Independent.

:) For some reason I am not surprised.

He dresses so eloquently, it's only natural that he should be passionate about it. ;D

(And what a lovely photo. I swear, I show more signs of aging than he does, and I'm only but twenty years!)
