A twofer today:
Details of what actually happened are vague, with the warning being given variously to the police, the promoter and the venue at some point between two hours and five minutes before the Bizkit were due to go on, and oddly, Fred Durst [lead, um, "singer" for Limp Bizkit] seems to be claiming that he took the decision to evacuate the concert hall in the face of opposition of the police (who expected a riot) and the promoter (who was worried about his money). You often find that when police are taking a bomb threat seriously, they'll leave it to a pudgy American to make the call on what to do. There was, of course, no riot of fans, who seem to have been remarkably calm about the news that they'd have to go home without seeing little Freddie jiggling in his bright red cap.
Durst is very quick to stress that he's got film of the police telling him about the bomb, almost as if he thought people might accuse him of making the bomb up to get out of playing. How cynical does he think people are?
and this one
Posted by Casper at March 24, 2004 11:54 PM"I'm one of Geri's [Halliwell, one of the Spice Girls] biggest fans" says Dale, proudly; that's a common boast but whereas with most acts the question is if the fan really is the biggest, when it comes to Geri we'd have to ask if the use of "one of" and the pluralisation of "fans" is correct.
Dale says that Geri is "just a normal person", which makes it curious why he chose to have someone scar her face into his flesh - unless he's also got his milkman tattooed on his ass and the local lollipop lady across his shoulders, I suppose...
