Broken Social Scene Portsmouth

Saw the mighty BSS again in Portsmouth on Sunday night. Another stellar show, I expect nothing less. I few tossers in the crowd started shouting stupid stuff like, "Bryan Adams" and "Celine Dion." Kevin Drew the lead singer just got on with business as usual and played on. After the show I was reacquainted with Justin Peroff the drummer. He and I became friends after the London show back in December. We hung out longer this time, and Joe (my mate who I brought along) was stunned at how easily I got us back stage. Joe had a little meeting with the porcelain later on. His mate who he grew up with, goes to school in Portsmouth. This guy was in Amsterdam at the time so he gave us the keys to his place. Unfortunately it was a seaside penthouse in walking distance from the venue. I emailed Justin and he responded and kind of hinted that the band is not too far from being finished. I must say I am not surprised and I am not all that sad about it. Like Robert Frost, who was so famously quoted by Ponyboy in The Outsiders, said, "Nothing gold can stay."
