Just because Grey’s Anatomy “takes place” in Seattle, and just because Denver’s overwrought The Fray had one of its songs used liberally by the show, doesn’t mean I care about either. Ally McBeal in white coats meets Coldplay in vintage outfits. Great.
But as it turns out, The Fray’s incredibly loose ties to the city aren’t enough to win the Northwest over, according to a pretty amusing concert review out of Vancouver:
“Y’all are crazy!” said [lead singer Isaac] Slade to the distracted throngs, explaining that at a recent two-night stand in Seattle he could hear women in the audience talking about shopping.
Sorry for the lack of rapt attention, Isaac, but it could be worse. You could’ve heard them whining about Addison.
A guy from Denver complaining about how much Seattle sucks, sad. We were looking for beer at Bumbershoot before Elvis Costello, and my friend from a normal city noticed that everyone else was drinking. I had to explain that everyone was drinking coffee on a long weekend. That's just wrong. Did Slade also throw in that no one in Seattle can dance?
the audience for that show was 85% platinum-blond bonchis, which is slang, and is short for bon-chicks. as in the bon. as in bon macy's. as in macy's. its an old word.
and its the only one to describe the frays fan base.
i know this because i was there working, waving people to their parking destination, standing in clouds of dust and the heat of the evening sun as virtually everyone who attended the friday concert drove by in their luxury SUVS.
