um...

Apparently, Dave Gahan, lead singer for Depeche Mode, is not dead.

For the last several years, I thought he was dead. Why? I have no idea. I did not confuse Dave Gahan with Michael Hutchence. I know Michael Hutchence is dead. I know how he died. No confusion.

Last week, Tony informed me that Depeche Mode was coming to our area for a concert. Here's me...

OH, SCREW THAT! I REFUSE TO GO SEE SOME DAVE GAHAN WANNA-BE TRYING TO DO JUSTICE TO 'BOYS SAY GO!' I DON'T CARE IF THE REST OF THE BAND IS GOING TO BE PLAYING, I REFUSE TO GO! (HMPH!)

Now the concert is sold out. My little unfounded tantrum-o-death cost me two tickets to see DEPECHE MODE. LIVE ON STAGE. IN CONCERT. IN THE SAME ROOM AS ME. BREATHING THE SAME AIR.

I'm hoping they release some tickets a couple weeks before the show or I may have to resort to eBay.

In the future, could someone please keep me posted on which of my favorite 80s performers are ALIVE or DEAD? I guess I'm not doing a very good job of keeping tabs on them by myself. Thanks!

hey, if it makes you feel any better, it was kind of a boring show. other than trying to get people to clap to every other song, there wasn't much of a stage show. i remember thinking i could've just stayed home and listened to the cd. but then, that was '87 or '88. although if they were going to play a small venue, i take it back. i'm all about club shows in my old age.

We were all confused in my office because we thought he was dead, too. Then we thought we had mixed him up with Neil Finn of Crowded House, but he's still alive, too. We think.

Based on everything we can cull from our '80's-induced nostalgia, we're pretty sure we've mixed EVERYONE up with Stuart Adamson from Big Country, who is, indeed, an ex-parrot.

Well, Dave Gahan was like, legally dead for ten minutes when he OD'd. So I guess you were sorta right.

It is any consulation that their new cd kind of sucks except for that one single I have on my blog that sounds EXACTLY LIKE EVERY OTHER DEPECHE MODE SONG EVER?

I saw Them recently as well as Nine Inch Nails. Is it just me, or are Trent and David just getting better looking with age? I'm a little more partial to Trent myself. Anyway, I just had to say that I found your website while searching hoplessly on the net to find the much missed underoos. All I want is to be Supergirl again and my boyfriend want's to be Superman. Is there anything wrong with this? I think not!!!
