Liber generationis Jesu Christi
“Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers have inhabited this most lovely land, and never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made. Behold, the church of St. Cuthbert spattered with the blood of the priests of God, despoiled of all its ornaments; a place more venerable than all in Britain is given as a prey to pagan peoples.”
Alcuin, Letter to Ethelred, King of Northumbria

So much to cringe over.
1. mics have no cable
2. guitars aren’t plugged in
3. synth parts?!
4. the lead singer is remarkably consistent vocally, given that he’s singing away from the mic at some points
5. That boombox. WTF?
On the other hand, props to the drummer for not even pretending to play along.
Being from Burlington (yes, Rob Preuss, on keyboards, went to my high school and I remember seeing him at the Sunrise Records in the Burlington Mall asking the guy when U2 tickets went on sale) , I’d want to point out that the band’s name was “Spoons” not “The Spoons”, yes?
Of course, I could be wrong about that.
I think you’re right, Steve. I think there’s also a contemporary band called “Spoon”, so I default to a definite article to mark the imperative Spoons band.
