And speaking of "concert fools"...

Back when I worked for a record distributor and was privy to such information, I heard that Patti Smith was going to do a short set at a local small club (I believe as a birthday present for one of the members of REM who were in town that day; he had never seen her live and wanted to) Anyway, a smattering of music industry folk who had gotten wind of the performance started to fill the dancefloor as she was setting up, forcing the Bud-guzzling fratboy types off the floor.

We stood there listening, enjoying, having a good time until I heard a conversation from behind us:

"Who the hell is she?"

"That's the lead singer from Scandal"

"Well when is she gonna sing something we know?"
