    Is a band considered a 'sell out' when they perform on a 'morning mommy TV' show?

    Culture Club is on the Today show...Boy George is looking like Linda Perry, and a bunch of 'old fogies' are riding the rail.

    I don't know how I feel about this.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I'm assuming someone in the band (or some or all of them) is dead broke and needed to do this for the income. That's usually why washed up 80s bands start playing casinos.
    What's bugging me is that all the ticketmaster ads for their tour call them a "supergroup".

    Yeah, I always kind of assume that they are somewhat desperate (whether they really are or not is another story) just because there is always an air of desperation in casinos, lol.

    There are some pretty big names that play the fair here... Like Heart, I would think they could get a decent crowd for one of the smaller arenas.

    Not a county fair, but Vancouver's PNE fair in August has a bunch of bigger but has been names playing: Sloan, The Beach Boys, Daughtry, Clint Black, Pat Benatar, Boyz II Men, Hall and Oates, Loverboy....

    Feels better now than it did this morning, so I'm going to hold off on getting it checked out and just see if it sorts itself out

    For those who were asking, boot camp here means an exercise group run by ex-military people. Basically an hour and a half of running, squats, lunges, push-ups, crunches, planks etc. Just started it recently and quite like it. It's tough going but very satisfying at the same time.

    Basically, if you can flex your hand at all without excruciating pain (that would probably simply prevent you from flexing at all), it's probably not broken. But whoever said be careful is certainly right. If it is broken, or even if there are torn ligaments, and you don't treat it properly, you could end up with a disabled hand for life.
