Birthday Party pooper
2 recently went along to both Nick Cave gigs at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh (sad I know, but bear With me) and was staggered by the behaViour of the audience on the second night
On the Friday, Nick treated us to a twenty minute reading that gave us his career in a nutshell -— his CV is more interesting than most, so this was never dull But, on the Saturday, his attempts to read the same passage were ruined by some asshole in the front row ‘~.'.«h-:> Kept hecklin 1 him Thankfully, the bouncers chucked him out, but not before he'd sworn at Nit K
l\l(k was obvrously unsettled by the incident and cut his reading short in favour of playing a selection of songs both new and old This was unsurprisingly excellent, but still the set was ruined by dickheads in the crowd yelling out for 'In The Ghetto’ and other chestnuts.
But what pissed me off most was the mean spirit of all those people who left the gig complaining that he hadn't played for long enough and that they hadn't had ".'alue tor rnoney' This is meant to be re: l-c 'n' io.|, not a trip to your total Asda'

Leo's star sign
I haven’t read American Psycho, but Brett Easton Ellis is right saying that Leonardo DiCaprio would be perfect for the main role [Issue 340]. In fact, I was glad to hear recently that Leo and not Ewan rvchregor is probably going to star in the next Danny Boyle film, The Beach Leo is the best actor in the world, Titan/c proved that, and I'd be happy if he was in every film berno made Well, maybe not Godzr/Ia because that was really crap.
