BC: Thank you. ... Very nice, very nice. Smooth. How are you, you alright? Feeling good? 20 years, people, 20 years. Heh heh heh, heh heh heh. Thank you, thank you. ... Like to take a moment to introduce this incredible band I play in. I’m very lucky to play with such great talented people. On guitar, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. Gettin’ it done. You want your full name or your old name?
Ginger: (off mic) Full name.
BC: Full or...?
Ginger: (off mic) Full.
BC: On bass, Mrs. Ginger Reyes-Pooley. On keys, Ms. Lisa. Dominatrix to the stars. Who knew? And on the drums, my man right here, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Gettin’ it done, people. Thank you. It’s a real pleasure to play for you tonight, thank you very much, it’s a real pleasure. Like to take you back a little bit, take it down a notch. This is a song from the Adore album, you might recognize it.
Once Upon a Time (acoustic)
Again, Again, Again (acoustic)
The Rose March (acoustic)
BC: Before we go on with the second half of the show...I’d like to say something political. I’d like to say something political if you’ll allow me. Now, in this country we live in, politics: don’t talk about it. You know what I think about politics? It’s a bunch of crap, it’s a bunch of bullshit. Bunch of poser fuckin’ hair band shit. So here’s my politics. They’ll tell you, they’ll tell you there’s no more happy days, this country, (blows raspberry). Bullshit. We got a lot of good stuff to do in this country. That’s political. I’m an American, that’s political, heh. And this band, we ain’t fuckin’ done, we ain’t done. I don’t care what you read, I don’t care what you hear, we ain’t fuckin’ done. I’m deadly serious and that’s political too.
