Listening to one of the lines of Suzanne makes me think that Sean might be right about what some of the girls were thinking too: <blockquote>Suzanne is waiting at your doorway But all she does is waste your time And she looks just like my sister But she feels just like my man</blockquote> Sean, you're right, about almost everything, but what can I do if I'm not invited to things. :) I haven't been let loose on the roads to go to gigs or anywhere else. Hopefully after the 19th I will be though. Jim, thanks for the playlist, for not telling me, and for letting Sean get the digs in about us being like an auld couple.

Suzanne is waiting at your doorway
But all she does is waste your time
And she looks just like my sister
But she feels just like my man

Sean, you’re right, about almost everything, but what can I do if I’m not invited to things. :) I haven’t been let loose on the roads to go to gigs or anywhere else. Hopefully after the 19th I will be though.

Jim, I hope Dublin ain't so backward that some of the BLOKES wanted to be her and GIRLS wanted to shag her also.... Though given the overwhelming vibe of homophobia I usually get when back there, I suspect it still is..

Shocked and disappointed. Doesn't matter in any case, because I was there too. Two can play at that game. I can clarify some things about the setlist: <a href='http://dublinopinion.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hope_sandoval_setlist1.JPG' title='hope_sandoval_setlist1.JPG' rel="nofollow"><img src='http://dublinopinion.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hope_sandoval_setlist1.JPG' alt='hope_sandoval_setlist1.JPG' /></a> Courtesy of a girl up the front who wasn't too bothered having a Hope Sandoval setlist since she was primarily a Mazzy Star fan. Go figure... You forgot to mention how swoonsome Ms. Sandoval remains. Some kind of remarkable restraint on your part, I'd imagine. I don't know if 'swoonsome' is a real word, well, it is now. The girl I went to the gig with remarked afterwards "All the girls at the gig wanted to be her; all the guys at the gig wanted to shag her." I mumbled something non-committal. Odd gig for me too in that Hope Sandoval (in all her various guises) never really seemed like a person who existed outside the confines of recorded music. That whole ethereal quality thing I suppose. At the gig, I felt that it really came together for Suzanne and Feeling of Gaze, methough. Short and sweet. Shocked I am to discover that you went to a gig without letting me know first.
