Peter F’n Frampton

April 2, 2009


[ ROB GORDON walks up to a bar. From the entrance he can hear MARIE DE SALLE singing “Baby I Love Your Way.”]

ROB: [Pauses, incredulously] “Is that Peter fucking Frampton?!”

Far be it from me to comment on boring local news – I’ll leave that to the dude who runs SD Watch – but Kerrie pointed out that the Sioux Empire Fair will be featuring Alice Cooper, Big and Rich and some cowboy rapper. All acts that I’m sure will sell out.

Oh. And Peter Frampton.

Which gives the two of us ample reason to live out one of the best lines in movie history. Or, at least, one of the best lines in High Fidelity.

That’s all. I’ll end the Hornby/Cusack lovefest now.

(P.S. My favorite line of the article: “The fair said it still is negotiating for a hot rock act.”

I can’t wait to see who THAT’S going to be. What, is Hoobastank still around?

Oh, god. They are.)

    What is incredulous is that so many love Frampton Comes Alive, one of the most f’n dreadful and annoying albums ever.

    And Alice Cooper. Woah! I wasn’t yet 18 when “Eighteen” was a hit and even I don’t want to f’n go.

    (Oops, hope this doesn’t turn me into a dude that comments on boring local news.)

    Too late, Tim. That’s exactly what you are.

    But I wholeheartedly agree. What a weak line-up so far.

    I’d say, “Oh well, at least they’re trying,” but I’d be lying. I don’t think they’re even trying this year.
