| the shows at madison square garden were awesome. the stones were full on i thought on Thursday and more resereved last nite. I think the HBO hubbubb was probably a factor. i mean, we, the band, had a hard time even getting back to the dressing rooms after the show becuase of the cluster-fuck of people everyplace. I watched it from the t.v.monitors in the dressing rooms because you couldnt watch from side stage, which was odd. this has been the smallest place and the least atteneded of the four shows. im not suprised or hurt or anything by that, i mean its the greatest rocknroll band in the world up there and were just warming up the amps really. so im not indiffrent but i know better than to rely on the audience for any help. i got heckled from stage left and right seats last night and it was really direct so i was again shocked and confused. i mean the way i see it, i dont suck nearly as bad as some people, i mean hopefully, and im not really any good either...you know changing the world type stuff like U2 or Radiohead. so i dont get it. i dont get what the fuss is. why anybody wants to stab it so hard or try to get at me. its very confusing. at the same time i was watching this movie the other day and there was a scene with this little boy on a playground and there were gangs of kids throwing rocks at this kid, and gossiping and clusters of kids who wouldnt talk to other kids.....basically like the worst of what it was like at school slowed down and in this movie for like two minutes and i thought to myself, this is exactly what its like being an adult ala you throw rocks with magazines or you do all the horrible things you used to do but passive agressive instead of just blalantly. im really starting to hate people. i mean really not want to be onstage at all and i cant wait till february when i get to go make my record and find out exactly what it is i wanna say, alot of which is not very nice but i dont really give two shits. this whole buisness is disgusting and if there were anything good in me left before all this it feels gone now, not that i walked into this game some kind of angel or anything. so my review of the stones at madison square garden is....the fact they, after 30 years, could get up there and give even two fucks about playing music for an audience, after all the bullshit they endured from their fans, the press, their audiences, the music buisness, and themselves, is a miracle in itself. they certainly dont need the money. what drives them to do it i may never know at least not with the way things are now. it isnt what i thought it was gonna be and its changing fast. whatever. | |||
