A Bit Taken Aback

Wow. I'm a bit blown away because it seems our fantastic night out at The Vines a few weeks back, was the last show they did before lead singer, Craig Nicholls, suffered another Asperger's related breakdown! He was unable to fly out of Adelaide to make the Perth gig the following night, due to flight induced anxiety, and since then all further appearances have been canceled.

Was it something we said?

I have been so busy lately that I have been really out of the blog loop...I followed your link, and what a FUN FUN time you guys must have had!!! BA, your haircut completely ROCKS! And there is nothing more entertaining to me that getting ready and going to see a live band! We are music lovers in our house too, mostly rock though the husband is totally into jazz as well. He is a musician in his spare time away from the hospital, so he encourages us all to listen, love, and attend all sorts of shows! We were all three fortunate to purchase Bob Dylan tickets for his show a year or so ago in Atlanta. The daughter actually CRIED when he sang "Don't Think Twice." My favorite show so far was Elvis Costello again in Atlanta. We were so close to the stage, I could see sweat droplets fall from his face. He sang the whole time in a full electric blue suit. I have loved him since I can remember, and I actually was moved to tears that night as well.
So sorry to hear about the Vines lead man's condition; very happy that you all were able to attend the show.

Himsefl saw Dylan last year, a friend gave him a ticket...I didn't get one :-( and he loved him too. I was moved to tears when I saw Bette Midler a few years back. We were only about 6 rows back and I just felt so privileged being in the same room!!!!
