Peter Murphy’s Orange Peel show
Thanks for reading through to the end…

Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
It sure would be nice to get reviews of shows!
A review just lets you know what you missed.
So Mat … did you go to the show? I would like to know what I missed since I attended another show … I go to 3-4 shows a week … how about you?
I go to about 3-4 a year.
As for you, maybe you shouldn’t have gone to disco night at the roller rink the night Murphy played.
:P
Mat, are you being funny or mean?
I have been told that I have a poor grasp on the fine line between the two.
I did not go to the show. I’m not a huge Peter Murphy fan. I’m also not in Asheville.
I do not find your posts interesting, funny, or clever … but this is just me
I’m sorry. I try very hard to make sure that every single comment I post could easily pass a rigorous and thorough test of its ability to entertain and/or inform before I hit submit.
This process often includes consulting with my team of trained Guatemalan comedians, who also double as my dance squad when times are lean, but sometimes they give me bad advice. I am coming to understand that the general national humor of Guatemala is somewhat drab compared to the robust humor of Ecuador. Or even Finland.
So, I suppose it’s time to go down to the basement and wake up the guys and tell them the show’s over. They go back to what they were doing before, which I think had something to do with golf courses or beauty salons. Not sure which. I don’t think they know themselves.
