Epilogue, or Guiness regurgitated.

The very next day, they played again, and we stumbled upon them playing the same venue again for some reason. But this time there were youth there dancing ! Up the back on the grass admittedly, on the only space available to them, but dancing to it nonetheless. The sarcasm of the front man was once again admirable in the face of the indifferent, but the teachers in the audience could still enjoy it, despite being able to spot another garden variety case of undiagnosed adhd/odd at one hundred paces. His introduction to ‘Mr President try something else’ explained as the alternative careers of John Howard, Condoleezza Rice and George W. Bush was useful to us all. Amazing what a coherent moment from an mc on only his first beer (perhaps) will do to engage an audience.
