peter gabriel came out... and on “growing up,” he sang (and bounced around) inside a giant plastic bubble. he said being inside one of those reminds him of when his daughters used to have a clear plastic ball for their hamster to roll around in.

Note the date. Lets be fair, Wayne rips off plenty of people's stage ideas. No one owns confetti and smoke machines and using a bullhorn. It's just for fun,relax...

alright valid point. maybe i just dont like seeing totally unoriginal people stealing ideas. or maybe i just dont like sugarland.

Gibby owns the bullhorn.

I hope Wayne rips me off soon!

SugarLand....bwhahahahaha...I have to see this.

Well, it made me laugh.

right its not as if i never expected anyone else to use the ball, but something about sugarland pulling it out seems to generic. and their fans and soccer moms thinking its the coolest thing ever "nancy she came out INTO the audience in this HUGE ball that she was INSIDE of and rolled all over the audience, I couldnt believe it!" peter gabriel i can dig, im sure it worked good for his show. sugarland its just gives you a reason to get distracted from the cardboard box music.

I know the band "Rabbit in the Moon" uses the ball, the lead singer does a similar thing only the ball is filled with a massive amount of glowsticks.


Anyone know who starting using the gerbil ball first? I think both bands brought it to the live stage in the early 90's. I havn't checked my sources though, just going off what I have seen / heard.

As cool as Wayne's giant ball is, I really want to try a Zorb sometime. Same basic idea, but it's set up for going down mountains and cross-country at a high rate of speed.

Sokoban...a new zorbing trail just opened up in The Smokey Mountains. I am currently trying to get a group together to go do this. Fuck I'm doing it even if no one else does.

Yup.

what the fuck is a sugarland? i'm so outta touch with "new" music. makes me wanna slap my grandma.

who the hell is sugarland? never heard of 'em. and i could qualify as a soccer mom but whatevah!

I was on facebook and I saw some pictures that a friend posted (thumbnails in the feed). I was thinking she doesn't seem like the type of person who is into the Flips. I checked out the pics, and it was Sugarland. I was wondering when someone would bring this up. The lack of anyone noticing is probably a testament to the great taste that Flips fans have in music.
