My daughter loves them, so do I. So we went to a sold-out all ages show at the fabbo Parts and Labour on Queen West this week, and the Cancer Bats were epic in their god-like genius. Epic. Saw one guy punch a hole in the ceiling when this tune from the new album (out this week!) was played. Best band in Canada. Awesome.
That is, Danielle Smith:
Why have you recruited Richard Evans, who promotes NAMBLA and the neo-Nazi Stormfront, and who mocks Holocaust victims?
Wildrose organizer Richard Evan wrote a motorcycle registration number on his arm,
pretending to be a Holocaust survivor. He thought that was funny. Does Danielle Smith?
Okay, I didn’t. But I’d give a kidney to get it.
Michael Taube looks on in horror as I make yet another excellent point about Alberta’s Sarah Palin, Danielle Smith.
Before the Internet and MTV and MuchMusic, he was pretty much the only game in town. When I heard, in Spring 1980, that Dick Clark had invited PIL onto his show, I predicted it would be anarchic insanity, total chaos, and that the American Bandstand boss would profoundly regret his decision.
Rotten, as you will see, did his level best to derail the proceedings. But Clark, ever the pro, doesn’t once lose his cool or even blink. He just carried on. Me and my punk buddies, then well aware of Rotten’s bottomless talent for destruction, thought that was the coolest thing.
R.I.P., Dick. You were a punk.
