I went to see the Rheostatics again last night. Contrary to earlier reports, last night was show 10 of 11 (making Sunday’s show the fifth). They played close to three hours, and it might have been the best show I’ve ever seen. They played about 8 songs from Whale Music, an album many consider to be their strongest, and definitely my favourite. If fact, it was my friend Brent (who was with me last night) who turned me on to the band back in 1992 when Whale Music was released. The only thing I don’t like about seeing shows anymore is coming home at 3:00am. Since the subway service stops before then, I had to take the Yonge bus, the infamous “Vomit Comet.” As always, there was one guy who kept yelling out “PARTY!!” on the crowded bus, and threatening to turn us all into fish sticks if we didn’t move back.
