The Second Coming of Joey Santiago

So the Pixies are playing two shows in Vancouver at the famous/ infamous Commodore Ballroom in April. The same place where they played their last two shows 12 years ago). And I'm going to try like all hell to get tickets for both shows. But if I can see only one show -- is it better to see the first night or second. I figure second, because they'll leave it all playing field. Has anyone seen a Pixies show on drugs?

Yeah, Kim Deal.

Actually I was going to say, "Has any seen a Pixies show on drugs, or did Kim do them all before anyone else could." Which is probably close to the truth. I'd rather not see a relapse, though -- I saw Lollapolooza with Courtney Love drunk and on crack. Oh yes, that kind of crack too. America's Sweetheart indeed.

Is that the same year of Lollapalooza where she punched Kathleen Hannah?

(Please no jokes about how you might think that's a good thing. I would pay money to be punched BY Kathlee Hannah.)

It's not like it'd hurt

Exactly.

There was a great Pixies drug anecdote i heard in an interview years ago - before one show Kim and Joey (he always looked the innocent one, too)did so much acid that Joey was convinced that he'd turned into a shrub, so Kim tried to trim him...

Yeah. It was just after and she was wearing a cast. I was 15 and on acid for the first time. I had long hair (now I'm bald) and I was wearing a Rage Against the Machine t-shirt. I thought I was the coolest fucking guy in the world. I was.
I also met my best friend that day. But I don't really rememer very well. When Sonic Youth played I lay on the grass wishing I didn't take any acid, or that I had more. I remember Sinead O'Connor had four arms and so did I. True story.

I would have told Courtney to show me her tits, but I was I high. But I was high. But I was high.
