Titolo: Tour estivo.... bagnato!

 
Da REMHQ. A quanto pare nel tour estivo hanno deciso di mettere nella prima
fila davanti al palco una "piscina"... per i fans più "caldi" (nonché
vincitori dell'estrazione)! Daranno dei braccialetti resistenti all'acqua
:-)
Ma che è? Miss/Mister maglietta bagnata? Di chi è stata l'idea?
Comunque, ho già paura... :-)
 
          --Sydney, Australia
Following their legendary New Zealand "lakeside” performance on Saturday
night, R.E.M. announced today that its upcoming European shows will be an
“all wet” affair: every show will feature a front row pond (3’-5’ deep) so
that completely crazed fans, as well as others just hot or tired, can enjoy
a total immersion front row experience.
Blue (“Water”) Leach and Susanne (“Summer”) Sasic, already the
video/lighting team helming the acclaimed production for the tour, said in a
brief press briefing that they felt “humbled” by the “challenge” of
incorporating a wetness aspect to all the front row settings facing the trio
on the upcoming swing but they said they were unbowed by the prospects: “We
have never backed away from a way of presenting in whatever medium they want
to be shown, and as of today, I guess that includes creating a stunning,
cutting-edge water component to all the summer shows...I mean, the band
rules, we just make it work....I am a little concerned about some of the
logistics with the dolly cams in the pit, I mean if that’s all water...”
Leach trailed off as Sasic quickly interjected “We realize there are still
some technical hurdles that need to be addressed, but with the experienced
crew we have, we have time to make it happen... I mean Loch Lomond would be
no problem and I think there is already a pond at Hyde Park, so that’s a
start,” at which point, Dick Adams, production manager, added helpfully,
“What this band realizes is that Europe in the summer can be hot as a
(multiple expletives deleted). Granada, late may? You kidding? The water
thing will be cool, so to speak...”
The band were unavailable for comment, locked into an already-ambitious
phoner schedule to various pirate radio stations scattered throughout
Australasia and the Caribbean, but longtime advisor Bertis Downs, in an
email from some exciting backstage location, lauded their decision to “go
wet” this summer as a win/win/win for all concerned:
-The band wins by being the first to ever attempt this particular stunt (“We
are running out of things to be the first at...”)
-The fans win, especially the demanding ones who are never happy with their
tickets (“This way anyone willing to take the plunge can be on the front
row... I mean to heck with the so-called golden circle...this is a doggone
pond man”)
-And finally, everyone wins, because, if New Plymouth was a “once in a
lifetime experience, then now we can have once in a lifetime experience
every night... a neat trick don’tcha think?”
Tour manager Bob Whittaker, ever the skeptic, and with a long history of
working with bands from Seattle, cast the only negative pall on the
ambitious plans, snarling “I hate to throw a wet blanket on this whole
thing, but can we please lose the ducks if we are going to do it?”)
Fan Club winners are advised normal wristbands already received are now void
and must be returned with a SASE in exchange for a new set of “water wings”
(you can’t be too careful) to be sent C.O.D.

Quoto, la data mi fa sperare nel pesce.
Comunque con lo spazio-parterre ridottissimo dell'Olimpico vorrei proprio
vedere cosa potrebbero mettere...giusto la piscinetta gonfiabile x bambini

   Credo proprio che sia un pesce d'aprile...e poi dubito che in italia una
cosa del genere sia fattibile...tra una spinta e l'altra andrebbero a finire
tutti sommersi con tutti i pericoli connessi e annessi...diventerebbe come
il mare ad ostia il giorno di ferragosto...un carnaio!!!

evidentemente hanno preso lo spunto proprio da questa situazione
curiosa che è capitata loro :D e poi scusa... la dichiarazione di
Rangie è proprio LOL-losa :))

riferendosi al fatto che nello specchio d'acqua di Plymouth davanti
alle prime file c'era anche.... cacca di anatra :P... poveri fan
coraggiosi ... tutti belli impastati :-P
Michael durante lo show ha anche detto :
"If you're gonna get in the water, at least take your fucking clothes
off first and make it interesting for me as well!" LOL
"Well, it rained, then it stopped, then it rained again, and then it
stopped...but I can say that all of you, at the very least, are a
little bit moist. And I can say, I never thought I’d be performing in
front of a pond full of duck shit and naked people."

Babe
That's how it goes 
Liking a tattoo 
From a crakerjack box 
Put it on the wrist 
And wish it was LSD 
So I would melt myself into infinity 
And recapture this lost humanity 
Or even 
Maybe turn into a crocodile 
See ya later alligator
