a STATE of a FAIR

i can't remember it as if it were a time and place i had been to...well mainly

 cuz i wasn't even a blip on the radar with concerns to any of the live'n at that moment in time...bein' my dad was only 6 dur'in that year and my mom wouldn't even be a pass'n thought fer another 11 years...but oh what a time i'm sure it was fer the all locals to gather together...fill'n up their bottomless pits full of anything they could get their deep fried fingers on and gaze in disbelief...

much like many of the lobotomized brain dead gimps watch'n their mentally deranged lie'n sack of pig shit sink'n like the titanic on FAUX SNEWZ...on  the many oddities they've never seen before...like...

Myrtle and Ernest Wattumbach of Zumbrota, MN...show'n off their prized radioactive pet goldfish they had shipped over...via the zeplin...from Nagasaki Japan

or the beautifully pain stake'n saturated fat sculptures made by the hands of the good CASPER fear'n folks at Our Lady of Fantastic Debauchery all the way from McIntosh, MN

while parents would sufficiently stuff the stomachs of their lil clan of ungrateful off-springs full of cotton candy...fried cantaloupe and sugar dipped sardines on a stick...then ship em off to enjoy the high fly'n death spinner 500 feet into the air

flash forward to 80 years later and things haven't changed much...well...

with the exception of some of the lil bratty barf bags from the 1938 crowd that ain't kick'n up daises just yet...the rest of the fair goers will never get to experience the universally accomplished and world's most famous gender bend'n...beyond absofuckinglutely sing'n sensations of one BOY GEORGE and his equally talented band mates of the famous band CULTURE CLUB

in all their glory fer their "LIFE TOUR" this upcome'n labor day weekend at the MN State Fair...mon sept 3rd
buy yer tix here

in support of their new cd "LIFE" due out oct 26...pre-order yer copy here (that's like under 2 months from this week...couldn't you just die!!!)

sorry that's what my 13 year old spastic self would'a said...though i still am 13 at heart when it comes to anything that's new from these jolly ol' chaps

if you can't wait...(cuz ya know i can't) you can listen here to their brand spank'n new...reggae infused glorious debut of their 1st smash hit together in 20 years with "LET SOMEBODY LOVE YOU"

TRIBES: A TOUR DE FORCE

picture it...the year 1982

for the price of a martini today...you could've filled yer Renault Fuego Turbo full of gas 

the 'baadshah of bollywood" Shah Rukh Khan may have made history with over 9 million twatters follow'n him on twitter today...but in '82...someone made history with over 9 million benjamins from an armored truck in the BIG APPLE 

Siri may be yer best friend when gett'n ya outta a sticky situation these days...but she wouldn't be here if it wasn't fer her grand papi K.I.T back in '82

though this performer delusionally narcissistic merlot love'n florist...die'n fer a permanent spot on Dr. Phil and poster child fer ENEMA'S-R-US...has cornered the market on alienate'n those around her these days...this alien owned the movie market with millions of fans fall'n in love with them without have'n to barely say a word in '82

and though this quartet might be kick A double snakes on the charts now...this quartet conquered the world by storm in 1982

release's their 1st 3 singles to the world that year...with it's 3rd single reach'n #1 around the globe

off their debut album "kissing to be clever"

CULTURE CLUB was the 1st band to have 3 consecutive top 10 hits...

by the end of the 80's...BOY GEORGE decided to change up his style... 

and go it alone thru-out the 90's

then once again...BOY would go back out on his own....

release'n an array of eclectic  sounds from his enormous musical catalog

include'n find'n enough time to write a brilliant score and star in the phenomenal musical TABOO in London's West End and on Broadway...about the decadence of his rise to fame in the 80's

on top of ALL that BOY has accomplished in his career...he still has time...

to do what he loves doin since it all began as one of the world's most sought after DJ's

but finally after over 30 long years entertain'n the masses on their asses...

it's a miracle all the original boy's have stuck together and have managed to stand the test of time...give'n their dedicated stalkers fans exactly what they're crave'n for once more

MIKEY CRAIG on bass

and ROY HAY on guitar and keyboards
