[kj] o.t. Peter Murphy live

[P Bernardi]

His Voice *sounded* great, it was the goofy way he sang thru most of the 
set.

No one took their eyes off of Murphy cuz he looked like Bozo the Clown 
w/ that huge gaping bald spot and his hair going all wild to the sides. 
We couldnt stop laughing at him.

Thanks for that link - I cant wait to rip into the show on his site!
