Fuck, I sold a lot of dope at that concert. I mean, they had good lyrics like, "Gimme an R-O-C-K", and the crowd yells "ROCK" really loud. Now that's a fuckin' concert! Bubbles: I'm not giving anyone a fuckin' R! Saw David Yow scream cuss words at people and spit on them, while wearing only a negligee which was back lit by stage lights. Now that's a fuckin' concert.
