Marvy...sweet. I love reading all those testimonials, especially DJ Grouper's long string. Get Ready and Siren's Call really have brought tremendous joy to me.
Wow, just wrapping that LONG audio piece. Excellent! It must be amazing to be someone like Ana Matronic who talks about her infatuation with them at 15 yrs old, waiting by the stage door to meet them, having to go home for curfew before she could...then freaking singing on stage with them at the Hammerstein!!! OMG, then her talking about putting her makeup on, hearing Transmission wafting back from the stage! Holy hell!!!
But my favorite is their recollection of the day in 1989 when Barney told the band he wanted to break off for awhile. I had no idea this occurred during their Irvine Meadows concert while they were staying at the Newport 4 Seasons in Fashion Island...all my oldl stomping grounds. It's hilarious to hear of them being trapped on the 405 at the Y, wondering why the F traffic was so bad on a Tuesday...there's was an F'ing New Order concert of course!!! I distinctly remember missing this concert even though I lived just down Moulton Pkwy past the Meadows - I was just starting to date my future wife and was too distracted!
Good times then and good times now - a constant! Damn Marvin, you've gotten me all jacked up for them again!!!!!!!!!!!!
