The Chicago Shows List
I'm not in for killing another man, protecting my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
Shows of note as of 04/20/95
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION ALL READERS
If any of you are having your mail forwarded to another address, please
STOP. Every so often I receive bounced messages from accounts that are
NOT on the mailing list. This is NOT cool. Currently, I'm getting
bounces for cbok@chronic.mn.org and can't tell who is forwarding to
that account.
THIS WEEK'S LIST IS GOOFY
The "new this week" section is not sorted correctly because of
technical problems. All the "The" bands are lumped together, Koko
Taylor is under "K", and so on. I should have it fixed next week.
R.E.M. UPDATE
R.E.M. are starting their tour again in mid-May, which means their
shows at the Horizon in early June will still go on.
WHAT'S THAT SMELL?
The Grateful Dead, the band I hate most, is coming to town. Still,
being the service-minded fella that I am, I'm including their Chicago
tour info is included here.
The information comes via FTP, specifically /pub/gdead/tour dates at
gdead.berkeley.edu. Be glad I work in a cubicle next to a Deadhead.
NEW DATES
There are a few shows with new dates this week, most notably the Poster
Children who are now on the 19th, with the Smoothies opening. Yay!
Also, Adam Ant is now on the 3rd of May, not the 2nd.
THE SHOWS LIST: BOWDLERIZED OR TASTEFUL?
A.C. are coming to town. I figure those who know who A.C. are will
know who I mean without having to give their real name. I wrestled
with this and thought "eh, it's just a matter of good taste". Heck, if
they even put it as A.C. on the album covers, it's good enough for me.
SUBSCRIBER COUNT
We've reached 1000 subscribers. Actually, it's 998 of you out there,
because I send myself 2 copies, but I won't quibble.
SUBSCRIPTION INFO
Mail a request to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>. Please mention where you
saw the list, just for my own curiosity.
