Should I...?

Post by matedog »

Ice Cube is playing across the street at The Fillmore in a month or so. I don't know whether I should go or not
Pros - It's fucking Cube!
Cons - Tickets are like $50. I haven't liked any of his material for the last fifteen years.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I say no. He's rubbish.

Someone obviously hasn't heard Death Certificate.

I'm just worried he'd be doing more "We Be Clubbin" and less "Givin Up the Nappy Dug Out."

Perhaps he'll perform a scene from Are We There Yet?
We reach the parts other combos cannot reach
We beach the beachheads other armies cannot beach
We speak the tongues other mouths cannot speak

Nah, I've never heard it. I've heard a few gruntings of his, nothing that ever reeled me in.
Mind you, my idea of good rap is Malcolm McClaren.

Mate, if you live near The Fillmore, how about going to the Pioneers of Punk show this Saturday the 26th? I don't think it's sold out yet. I'm going.

The line-up:

Flipper (w/ Krist Novoselic)
Avengers (opened for the Sex Pistols at Winterland)
Mutants
Negative Trend (1st reunion in 29 years...opened for The Clash next door at the Geary Temple (now the Post Office)
Target Video (footage of punk bands, circa '78-'84)

No dice. My mama is coming to town from the CT this weekend.
Geary Temple (now Post Office) is where Jim Jones got big right?

Oh, OK then.
No, the Geary Temple was a synagogue, I think...the People's Temple (Jim Jones) must've been next door to that.

I think it was:

The Fillmore - Geary Temple - People's Temple

According to BMC, the Geary Temple is now The Fillmore, that's not correct. The Fillmore (West) was there, too.

Oh yeah, Malcolm McLaren wanted Negative Trend to play Winterland after the Pistols finished their set, but Bill Graham one-upped him by playing Winterland's exit music. Mate, did you know that the apartments at 2000 Post (corner of Post & Steiner) was where Winterland used to be? I heard or read that Joe & Gaby stayed at those apartments.
