Saturday, March 29th!! the Joe Jackson Band! All original members! First Ave calender says they're playing the Entry, I don't think I believe 'em. (it would be so cool if they were, though)
Tix are $25.00, 
Here's a chance to pull out the skinny black ties, stovepipe pants and black pointy toe shoes! But don't you know that it's different for girls.[This message has been edited by quagmire (edited 12-16-2002).] IP: Logged |

Don't work hard
Don't play hard
Don't plan for the graveyard

Pretty soon now
Y'know I'm gonna make a comeback
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
It's a sure-fire smash
I'll speak
To the masses throughout the media
And if you got anything to say to me
You can say it with cash
'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo Kung fu
That was one of my good ones
Well what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good clean fun
Skateboards
I've almost made them respectable
You see I can't always get through to you
So I go for your son
I had a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
Didja looka looka lookit alla blood
Give me all your money 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo Right now
I think I'm gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
And we can't have that
And you think you're immune
But I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin
To a pork pie hat
'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo IP: Logged |

I saw Joe Jackson on his birthday in Chicago, 1979.
I guess it must have been the first "new wave" band I had seen, I saw the Clash earlier that year.
He was really great, drinking and spilling beer, and came across as fairly angry.
Excellent tight band, would be fun to see him again.IP: Logged |

Most excellent indeed. I will be there. His first two records are classics. Still listen to them to this day.

I'd add his third, "Beat Crazy," to that list o' classics; much underrated in my opinion. And I still like "Jumpin' Jive," predating the whole swing thing by almost twenty years.What's the use of getting sober, if you gotta get drunk again... IP: Logged |
