Now, despite the tsk-tsking of a couple of male friends in the audience, as well as the fatherly critics from La Presse and the Gaz, this reviewer's view is that if Miss Peaches wants to turn PdA into her own personal hootchy-kootchy joint, more power to 'er. In theory. In practice, however, the sight was a little horrifying - the only other time I've ever seen someone that age dance like that, with her tongue lolling out and her bony hips up to her chin, she was propped up on the jukebox a couple blocks over at Bar Alouette.

But. Then the lights went down and she settled into her second number, the self-penned heartbreaker I'd Rather Go Blind. As James's meaty voice filled the room, I felt like my guts had slipped out and pooled on the floor. It was so transcendental that she didn't even ruin it at the bridge, during which she slurped and licked at the mike in (one assumes) a simulation of some oral pleasure unrelated to the aural pleasure she was giving us.

From there, James stepped off into a full 90 minutes of mixed offerings, including a bumpin' Otis Redding medley (yes, Jamesetta, you are indeed Hard to Handle) and a half-speed version of her greatest hit, At Last, a song, as she said, "people like to get pregnant to, get married to, get divorced to, do anything to."
