**************************************************************** Completely irrelevant disquisition
Some of you felt that our initial coverage yesterday wasn't quite in keeping with the atmosphere created by these former Saultites now living in Toronto.
We originally posted a photograph here of four young women watching the band at the Bondar Tent Pavilion, inviting our readers to submit suitable captions in our News Response forum.
That, and some inappropriate references to body fat posted by readers, provoked a firestorm of protest in our News Response feature, accusing us of being immature and unprofessional.
Not wishing to be immature or unprofessional, SooToday.com has chosen to withdraw the image.
In a more wholesome vein, we've decided that the flavour of this event at a City-owned facility might more faithfully be captured by publishing a few excerpts taken from the band's website:
Mature, professional quotes from the Inner City Surfers
- "Just a reminder August is good for trying new mind-altering substances and sex."
- "When our drummer gets back from his strip club tour with Jeanna Jameson we will bring the rock right to your front f***in door."
- "We have been playing with all the best bands ... good times, good drugs, more good times. The best bands have the best drugs."
- "I have been getting naked pictures from you, the girls and guys are always getting better and better looking! I think I will start an Inner City Surfers porno production company."
Our sincere wishes
SooToday.com sincerely hopes that this revised content more closely reflects the spirit of the concert and will be less offensive to those of our readers who don't get out much.
