brixton darkness

Post Tue Dec 22, 2009 10:41 pm

Top show in Brixton, but I have a major gripe: the lighting on Shane seems to be getting dimmer each year - last year was bad, this year even worse. At least you could SEE Philip Chevron sing Thousands are Sailing. What's going on?

It's a little known fact that little Shane was brought up, not in Tipperary, Tunbridge Wells and the Barbican, as the publicists and biographers would have you believe, but among an obscure tribe of Native Americans in a reservation near Wilmington, Delaware. There, at the knee of his venerable grandfather, Old Scab The Knee, he learned to fear the ways of the Settler. Shane's antipathy towards artificial light derives from this period in his life, it is widely believed. He also got his taste for Moonshine in these formative years and moonshine has lit his path ever since.

Now that I've spilled the beans at last, perhaps this merits inclusion in FAQ?

He doesn't like the light in his eyes. That's all. If you want to see him - get into the mosh. :lol: 8)

And I'd heard that he had been brought up by Inuit peoples somewhere to the north of Greenland (a barren land), and therefore was unable to tolerate any form of light around the time of the winter solstice. Shows how little I know.
Likes the warm feeling but is tired of all the dehydration.
