Yesterday I went to FB concert in Barcelona, and he had to stop the show after just 1 hour.
People was very angry. We didn't understand nothing. But I expected outdoors and finally I had an explanations.
It seems FB girlfriend had a health problem and he, at the time he saw it, decided to stop the concert.
I hope she is fine now

It sucks. Sorry for you guys, and sorry for Frank's girlfriend.
I hope he'll re-schedule some gig in Barcelona.

I think it's amazing that we complain about ONLY getting one hour. I remember a time when most guys only ever gave you an hour. Shit, Morrissey used to come on stage an hour late, play for twenty minutes and leave. On top of that, FB segues everything and probably plays three or four more songs in that hour than most other bands.
Still, I understand people being upset that their expectations were not met. At least you didn't pay $80 for those tickets!

First time I saw Sonic Youth it was only like, an hour show. This was my first major concert after my first FB&TC show (which was 3 hours)...needless to say I felt kinda gyped, but I definitely loved it. 15 minute version of "I Wanna Be Yr Dog" with Ron Ashton playing guitar...great stuff.

What kinda health problem? I mean, are we talking ingrown toenail, severed leg, Haitian Monkey Virus or what? Maybe Frank will write a song about it.

I have spent 16 hours travelling through hell to FB&C shows that ended up being cancelled, I feel your pain.
The last show I went to, the last time he came through the East, 1 year ago in February I believe,
the tickets were 15$
that is so inexspensive
I am glad that my hero isn't exspensive to admire, becuase I am poor.
My old cat is trying to add "////////////"'s to this post by using the keyboard as a pillow. Damn, that shit is cute.

Hey everyone, I am FB's girlfriend and I just want to apologize
for the Barcelona gig. I got very ill from drinking and it was not pretty. I have felt awful about it ever since. It was a terrible night for me and for Charles. It sucked for him and his band was extremely bummed, too. I'm really sorry. Please don't think you were purposely ripped off or something. But it was a good thing, actually, this drinking "incident" -- because I realized that I'm too sensitive to alcohol and it's just not good for me, and am inspired to eliminate alcohol from my reality -- permanently -- it's changing my entire life. So, yay!! Frank Black's girl is a straight-edge chick. You, too, can be sober and lucid! All the cool kids are doin' it...
Anyway, please accept my most heartfelt apology - FB will make it up to all you Barcelonians next time, I promise.
Sincerely,
Violet Grace Clark

Quitting drinking can be a very good thing if it is an issue for you.
I know. I quit 6 months ago and feel great.
Good luck. |

PHEW--
I was having cold sweats logging on today, I was really
nervous that those of you who read my explanation would spew poison in my direction for sabotaging a gig -- But everyone is being so sweet understanding, it's very adorable and quite a huge relief! By the way, just attended my first AA meeting last night -- it was very touching and I really think I am going to like it. Just to have a place to go where people do not judge, where others admit that they, too, are not perfect. Blah blah. Anyway, thank you for your support.
Violet

| Wow, that could not have been easy to say, especially so publically. Good for you Violet, and I wish you the best of luck. Of course, if it had been MY concert you ruined, there would have been gallons of poison spewed. But since my concert went off without a hitch, you get nothing but love and pleasantess and semi-creepy e-hugs. Seriously though, I hope everything goes well for you, and I wish you all the best, regardless of who your boyfriend is. |

I'm not so sure that Violet's recourse to AA is that laudable. Here on Devil's Island, a woman's social status is gauged by how many pints of beer she can put away in an evening, without falling down and weeing her pants. For example, my mother-in-law can drink gin like a thirsty dog, chase it down with a crate of Carlsberg Special Brew, and still hold her own in a pub car-park fist fight. In fact, if my M-I-L was Charles's girlfriend instead of Violet, then the Barcelona gig would've gone on for about six hours, as the band would've been too shit-scared to come off stage, knowing that she'd be waiting in the wings, blind drunk and ready for some good lovin'.

I'm gonna start a default forum phrase like ramona: "WTF?" Much shorter and more concise.
 My wife has a split personality, and I hate both of them.

I understand, if no-one else does. Its an island thing. I'm from close-by originally, and things are only marginally less terrifying in Hampshire. More drugs, I would say.

Just to avoid anyone thinking I'm an asshole and have something against Miss Thing, the reason for the pic was just stupid...The Thing from the Fantastic Four had a girlfriend named Sharon who wanted to become orange and rock-like. Against the Thing's better wishes, she did, and turned into a female "Thing" called Ms. Marvel. (Stupid, I know...I didn't make it up.) Hence "Miss Thing." Yeah I know...stupid.

I have forwarded your suggestion to the old woman, and she appears to be quite keen. However, she still has nine months left to serve of a fifteen month sentence, for a particularly vicious assault on the policemen who tried to break up a dog-fight that she had organised. I hope that this does not prove to be too much of an impediment to what could indeed be the start of a beautiful relationship.
