Overheard at Osheaga

 

It’s time for one of my favourite ongoing segments: things overheard at music festivals. Enjoy!

- “You’re washing your feet in that?”

- “Who do you have to bribe to get a street closed around here?”

- “You’re gonne be here for a long time – longer than City and Colour played for.”

- “It’s 2012! The Apocalypse is coming!”

- “We’ve been saying it’s 2012 since before it was 2012, and we’ll be saying it after.”

- “It’s Montreal, everywhere serves till 3 o’clock!”

- “Maybe I should get cash, I have like zero dollars…”

          - “I have at least twenty.”

- “Gilles Du-ceppe, charged me 10 dollars for a ci-ga-rette...” (drunken singing)

- “I didn’t go to Bluesfest this year, that was my identical twin sister.”

- “He’s doing the slow walk…”

          - “He knows the slow walk well…”

- “There are some people doing the robot near me.”

- “That shirt is really rad, man – I didn’t know the bears could board!”

- “You’re not going to Snoop Dogg?”

          - “Bah, no, and it’s Snoop LION now…”

          - “Snoop Lion…”

          - “Sheep Lion!”

- “They want to get rid of our health care!”

          - “We should all just fuckin’ use gold, anyway.”
