When I’m headed home from a show and the buzz and reverberation of the final searing chords are still rattling around my beer-soaked noggin, I would probably eat a dirty sponge wedged under a mud-crusted rubber tire if someone were thoughtful enough to offer it to me.
Generally, no one is.
However, my show-going companions’ failure to present me with a mini-meal of bacteria-laden material does not necessarily (OK, it never has) lead to a granola-strewn, organic arugula-lined, pomegranate seed-studded path to a bowl of hearty, filling, nutritious food, swiftly followed by two aspirins, 16 ounces of water and a refreshing eight-hour nap.
No. Generally kick-ass, raucous rock shows make me want to shove hot, cheesed-up, be-gravied disco fries down my gaping maw, followed by as many pints of Guinness as my swollen gut will contain.
Apparently, the Gagster feels my pain. During her tour through Europe, she decided to give her chef the night off…and chaos ensued.
Lady Gaga reportedly ordered a whopping 35 plates of fish and chips after a recent show at the International Arena in the U.K. Now she’s hooked, allegedly bending chip shop owners’ ears in a bid to fish out their secret recipes for the British staple so that she can indulge in the deep-fried delights stateside.
