Sarstock was a blast

I did "Sars-stock". Sarstock. Whatever. The full-day concert for which 430,000 people turned out. I believe the highlight of the day was when the brothers Young of AC/DC joined the 'Stones on stage. That was a beautiful bit of blues.

It took me an hour and a half to get from the concert site to the Sheppard station on the Yonge line. But once there, the station was empty, and I was home in minutes. Not so for others, I've heard. A client of Chako's took 5 whole hours to get home!

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
