Bad Manners at Corona Showcase Theatre

Lorraine is the song. What a great show. I drove down to see the Sunday SoCal show in Corona. Dan told me the Fresno and Ventures shows suffered from a serious lack of fans, maybe 50 for each. At this one there were close to 200 people and while it wasn't sold out, it was nicely crowded. Monkey sounded great and was well received with lots of dancing. Bad Manners kicked ass. They played all the songs I wanted to hear, and a couple of cool covers I didn't expect. Buster sounded great, jumped around like a man possessed, and stuck his tongue out just enough! The whole band seemed to be having a great time and so did the crowd. If you are going to see one of the upcoming Monkey/Bad Manners shows, then you are in for a real treat. My only regret is that my "good" knee is fucked up and I had to dance on one leg. Highlights included seeing the Monkey horn section doing the can-can, dancing with Donelle to "My Girl Lollipop", and getting Buster to sign my album cover from ~1982.
