Met Mick Jones hanging around downtown and told him I was at The World gig and loved their cover of Prince's 1999. I think they did it off the top of their head. Mick made up words.

I saw B.A.D. in Baltimore in 88 or 89, and they also did 1999 then. They played it really well (it didn't sound off the cuff.)

While I've always preferred to get myself lost in music, rather than the bottle (never been into alcohol), I've found it's without a doubt, an equally expensive habit - and one that's likely just as hard to kick... but in my case, I'd really be lost if I had to give it up.

first time i heard I Will Follow -- it was playing off in the distance -- thought it was a new single from Echo and The Buunyman -- thought the vocals sounded like Ian McCulloch, had not heard of U2 yet

I've never seen U2 live. I met an Irish attorney who grew up w/ the drummer and he would get VIP backstage passes whenever they came to NY. He would be hanging out w/ them and goofing on Larry.

Hi paparay! It’s been a minute. I was just reminiscing about how The Ritz used to close out the best nights with The Cult and then got all teary eyed with “I’ll be you” when my partner mentioned how his first time in an “underground” club was to see the Replacements at the Ritz! I beg to differ about the underground nature of that, but... then we started chatting about how SheilaB played Nina Hagen today <3
