INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL

I have repeatedly stated that nostalgia is a bummer, man. But last night I saw Stiff Little Fingers , and they were fucking tremendous. Perhaps part of the reason for this is that I expected them to sound like tired, shitty, old men. Obviously they looked well aged, but the sound was excellent. If you didn't look at them, you would never have guessed that they are even older than I am ! It was no surprise that there were so many old fuckers there to see them as well, and on a Tuesday fucking night ! They played their classic songs, some new stuff, and of course had to end with Alternative Ulster. Amazing. I got three hours sleep, but I regret nothing. Nothing I tell you!!!
