Tues Feb 27, 1996 - Liverpool, Eng.
I’m trying out a Billy Pilgrim experiment, where I become unstuck in time (or at least my blog does) - I need to do something with these tour reports and think I may import them to this wordpress blog. Not sure. But here is a clip from one of our European tours, 1996 with Steel Pole Bath Tub…
Please remember. I am the Original Blogger! hahaha…
Not ‘Fuck,’ ‘Shit.’
Today the bus broke down, parked across the street from the Liverpool club. This seems to have eased any tension between all of us and the bus driver, but he seemed pretty upset! By the end of the day, he couldn’t start the bus at all, and he said, “I am just to laugh at this now.” (Austrian accent.) He is kind of funny; the first day he talked to us and told us the rules of the bus he was swearing a lot - he uses the word “Fucking” a lot, as an adjective, which is fine, only he also uses the word “Fuck” as a noun. He says, “I have been doing this a “Fucking” long time.” Then, “My English is “Fuck.” Later he points to a lot of smoke outside the bus and says, “Do you see all this Fuck?” He needs to learn the word “Shit,” I think, to use as a noun. I don’t want to teach it to him though.
