Ballroom Zombies / Forgotten Rebels
Winnipeg, MB
The Junkyard
April 15, 1994
Hung out with Mickey Desadest most of the night, laughed and joked, sometimes you meet someone with that purely disgustingly rancid sense of humour and wonder how much of it is real and how much is just stage presence? His sense of humour is all real. Surreal, actually - here's a guy that has been the face of Canadian punk over 3 decades sitting beside me at the VLTs, suddenly turns to me and tells one of my all time favorite dirty jokes and I finish the punchline for him. (PM me if you want to know the joke!)
I'm told later that night I was hitting on the BZs guitarist's girlfriend. I think I remember that. Funnier yet, 12 years later and I'm working with 3/4 of the band in their new permutation.
