Title: biscotti, ghosts...the gorton's fisherman?
Post by: peanut butter puddin surprise on Sep 07, 2004, 05:01 PM
okay, back in the day the boys used to throw biscotti at us from the stage.  ah, sweet memories.  any of you all out there have a story about stuff being tossed from the stage?  you know, food items, drum sticks, guitar picks, etc...

this last tour saw the rise of The Ghost, our inflatable, unflabbable 6th member (after reverb which is #5)...so I pose the question:

how long will it be before The Gorton's Fisherman makes an appearance?  hmmmm?  I'm gonna see if he's booked anytime soon for celebrity appearances...

I predict the 1st appearance of the Gorton's fisherman will be at their next Louisville engagement and he will depart suspiciously in a Dodge Neon  ;).  either that or whenever the guys get around to playing a gig in Gloucester he might show...

For those of us that weren't around for the biscotti era, maybe they'll start throwing Gorton's fishsticks into the crowd at the end of each show?  ;D

I can wish, eh?  Perhaps the crowd will be wearing yellow sea captain coats and have nets to catch the fishsticks?

I think the guys would be left scratching their heads if they looked out at a sea of yellow fisherman slickers ::)

I had a certain person's sweat drip onto me at a concert - but I don't think that was intentional.  ;)
