Two non-political items: - I went to the REM concert in Montreal Friday night. They're my favourite band, so I was pretty excited. It was, unfortunately, a bit of a letdown. It was the second REM concert I've attended, and I wasn't too happy about the first either. Why? They always play a whole bunch of songs from their latest CD, most of which no one even knows. They only play 3 or 4 classics. so the fans can't sing and it's not as much fun. I understand the need to promote the latest offerings, but please! These concert tickets are not cheap, and spectators expect more! I wanted to hear The End of the World as We Know It, Everybody Hurts, Sidewinder, and Nightswimming. All we heard were What's the Frequency, Kenneth?, Losing My Religion, and Man on the Moon in the encore.
- There's this chi-chi restaurant in Montreal called Bice (actually part of an international chain.) We dined there on Saturday night and I came away disappointed. The food was quite good, actually -- it was the overall dining experience that was sub-par. The service was not that good; the waiters unattentive and slow. The dining room was too noisy. Again, nothing at all wrong with the food, but if you're going to pay that much for a meal there are much better places you can eat at in this city for the same price.
