Is that why it's raining? Old Fred Nile been doing his rain dance again?
I didn't realise the Mardi Gras was this weekend.
I just happened to buy a stack of old videos and finally watched one this week "wigstock" great doco,imho. Intelligent, talented people. Some brilliant performances. So many.... too many, are gone. AIDS hasn't been around long, but crikes it's extracted a sad toll.
I seem to recall ZooTV, Sonia Dada, The Mardi Gras and the first Mind Spirit and Body Festival at Darling Harbour were all on in Sydney during the same week. I shoulda oughta gone...like Slane 2001.
The Mardi Gras started out following a wrongful arrest and a bunch of people gathered and marched up the street to demand their brother/sister be released.It sure has grown into a spectacular bigger than Ben Her
Have fun musiclovers, turn the beat around...
PS: I also hired Tomb Raider to watch this week for the first time. The lady said grab a second video for free.I had to choose in a hurry, picked "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and watched it on Tuesday. I didn't know it was nominated for a Grammy. What a coincidence/surprise. So nice to see/hear emmylou last night ...and U2!!
Mirror ball earrings 2 U all.
