Disturbed opened for them. They spent ten minutes staging an elaborate mock-execution of the lead singer for killing "over twenty people" with a fake electric chair that makes the stage lights flicker when you sit in it.

With a full-time job and no more college, I had more free time than I'd ever had before. I was also writing for an entertainment magazine, so I got into a lot of shows free. I saw so many bands in those couple of years that there were bound to be some clunkers in the mix. <br /><br />I was even worse with movies - films I watched in the theater during that period include 'Swimfan,' 'The Banger Sisters,' 'Tuck Everlasting' and many more things I wouldn't even bother to watch on TV nowadays.Ira Brookerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369958448191651449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576243297251582426.post-1246781910635079102011-05-04T09:39:31.218-05:002011-05-04T09:39:31.218-05:002002 sounds like a rough year.
