Brucie may have been tops on stage but there was some carry on in the bar at Slane Castle. During the interval we spoke with David Bowie who bought drinks all round and expressed an interest in playing there sometime. Elvis Costello offered us some new demos to record just before he puked on our shoes; Paul McCartney (bet ya didn't know he was there), stuffed himself with smoked salmon and chips much to Linda's disgust. Bob Dylan said that it wasn't nearly as good as last year and we couldn't wake Mick Jagger from under the table for a comment. All the hacks cursed Chris Roche for his stinginess with the passes, as the evening wore on and the alcohol took over cries of "string 'im up" resounded from the battlements. The two hundred Radio Two freeloaders looked on smugly, come the revolution... Meanwhile Bill Graham swanned about in bermuda shorts and an expensive suntan. Spandau Ballet were forcibly ejected for saying they preferred Queen's stage show. Ponces, cads, bet they eat quiche for dinner (instead of breakfast like the rest of us). | Brucie may have been tops on stage but there was some carry on in the bar at Slane Castle.
