Oh Gawds. I went to Vegas with some friends a few years ago, and my friend Ty insisted we see Dice at the Riv. He paid for the tickets, and was the first to walk out because it was so bad.

Yeah, I'm afraid Dice's best days are past.

He did have a good cameo in Entourage, though.

To you it was bad. I never liked Billy Crystal or Steve Martin outside a few of their bits. No different than food or music or movies. You either like it or you don't. People who get that famous don't get there because they suck.

Lots of people don't like ABBA, I love them.

No. He really sucked. I was the last one left in the theater... of the entire audience. When I got up to walk out he started drunkenly bitching that he was only halfway through his act.

Well that does not mean he always sucked, sounds to me he allowed his personal life to fuck up his stage act. But he did get way up there back in the 80s.

It's funny but I met the Ramones back in the late 80s backstage at the Bayou in DC. When I went backstage, I was thinking booze and chicks. Nope, none of that, soda and fruit and water and they talked about family and baseball cards.

I am sure he is still doing something and I would bet that venue was pissed at him and someone had a talk with him.

I didn't say he always sucked. Just that he sucked a few years ago at the Riv.

I will tell you guys everything I know about ABBA. It is either a type of music or a band. It is recently often debated in threads that have nothing to do with either of those things. Brian37 likes it. Seems like most people either love it or hate it but not a lot of oh it's ok type opinions.

Now you know what I know. Carry on.

Eesh, if you're doing a show at the Riv, things aren't going great.

Unless you're Penn & Teller. There's an exception to every rule.

If you play ABBA's music in reverse, it sounds identical. ABBA is the same backwards.
