Yikes. The same flu that hit us earlier this month, seems to have taken The Psychedelic Furs out of commission; they've canceled all three of their end-of-the-year shows including tomorrow night at the Mezzanine. This means that our Saturday night plans have been thwarted. Boo. We were planning on dancing the night away with the local glam-rock band, Persephone's Bees. Whatever happened to the mantra, "The Show Must Go On"? With other cancellations this week, we wonder if anyone abides by that principal anymore?

In any case, these rockers are in their fifties (right?) and they sadly don't have their twenty year-old bodies anymore. It's probably best they canceled. You will be able to get a refund at your point-of-purchase.

If you can't think of anything else to do on Saturday night, check the listings - there are plenty of other choices. We might just end up at home, snuggled up on our couch, with a cup of hot tea and watching the show-that-actually-goes-on, Moulin Rouge. We are so trying not to get sick, again, before the holidays end.
