I’m old enough to remember when Billy Ocean preached a move towards safety, as the nation’s ladies incrementally removed themselves from my dreams, securing themselves comfortably within my conveyance.

I saw them in Dallas at the Arcardia (probably the same tour), which was this very small hole-in-the-wall venue (burned down and has since been rebuilt, but its not the same). It was my first mosh pit and perhaps the most deafened I’ve been after a show. Man, they killed. I saw them a couple of times after that, but…

I agree about the boarding - and when you have the 1-30, 31-60 lines with regular planes with assigned seating, everyone STILL crowds up on the lines ahead of them, so it doesn’t accomplish much more (gate lice).

He must have confused them with Van Morrison...

Not to mention - why the fuck would you want your personal pillow to come in contact with any surface inside a plane? It’s bad enough your body has to be inside the plane sometimes...
