Thurston then proceeded to roll out of the cart (literally! he tipped it over!) while in the process SHEARING A MIC STAND in half with the neck of the bass. It was at that moment that I knew the show was going to kick ass!
How your boyfriend doesn't like "Cotton Crown" is beyond me. You really should consider a divorce.

i was at raleigh too! saw 10 sy shows in all that year...i still say thurston
in the shopping cart saved me...i hadn't drank much and was starting to
feel a bit dehydrated. i was on thurston's side, and decided to take a
seat (yeah, there was room, haha) before sy came on. i heard the crowd
roar and when jim and lee brought him out, goddamn i felt like someone
had splashed me with a barrel of ice water. "eric's trip" that night was
literally spinetingling. whew!
remember what thurston said after the mic stand incident? "i bet this
shit doesn't happen to morrissey". hah!
patrick may be down on the crown, but he still likes "starpower", which
is my personal favorite sy tune. he ever rags on that song, he's on his
own...and he knows it.
