I just got back from seeing Ginger's solo gig at the Viper Room here in LA. I
have to say it was amazing as usual with a lot of surprises in both songs and
guests. Ginger you never disappoint; you truly are gifted. Ginger eluded that
Billy Morrison picked the set list; if true then I tip my hat to you Billy. The
set was great. (Still love to hear some SG5 songs). I brought a friend who has
never heard them and he loved it.
One thing that I have never experienced at a Wildhearts/Ginger show is an
asshole fan(s). I was really disturbed tonight. Granted Ginger/Wildhearts don't
play LA very often but I have always enjoyed a type of "brotherhood" with the
other fans in attendance. I meet great people at every show and tonight we all
had a great time with the exception of having to deal with this one "asshole
fan". In hopes that this asshole fan is on the list and reads this and wakes up.
I don't mind people getting lost in the music and having a good time, but
tonight this one guy was so oblivious to the fact that he was disturbing
everyone around him. For the first portion of the set I watched him pummel this
tiny Japanese woman in front of me to the point that she finally had to leave.
The wrost part is he was completely unaware of it. He was right in front of me
and for most of the set I had to defend myself from his arm which always seemed
to be behind him in my face, among many other of his antics I was worn out by
the end of the gig.
Once again I say have a great time, get into the music. Ginger is an amazing
musician I truly love his music. But please Mr. Asshole Fan next time be aware
that there are other people around you who would like to have a great time too,
but can't because of people like you. It's not about you, it's not about me,
it’s about ALL of us being able to enjoy the music.
Also, if you can't handle your liquor, then don't drink so much or at least go
sit in a booth.
Ginger you rock! Can't wait for you to come back to LA.
