Back in the 90's over here in the UK an Oasis tribute band actually had a pretty big hit with their only original song, and I seem to remember a Pink Floyd tribute band selling out arenas up and down the county.
Well, sure, there are a few tribute bands for bands like Floyd, Beatles, Genesis, etc. who tour internationally, but they're usually bigger-budgeted theatrical productions with professional musicians. Black Fag's just a bar-band novelty act. But, then again, if Richard Cheese can still have a career, why not them? I don't understand it, but then again, there's a lot about the universe I'll never understand.
Like light cones? I sort of understand them but I have to think really hard about it. Relativity is some fucking crazy shit when you start to dig into it.
What about the UK? We're WELL gay. We invented that shit. In fact we're post-gay.
I preferred gay when it first came out though. It's kinda sold out now.
And so on.
My roomate is really disappointed these guys aren't coming to Pittsburgh.
