Post Modern Jukebox 2019 Tour - Perth
Last night we went to see Scott Bradley's Post Modern Jukebox for the fourth time. And for the fifth time in Perth, it was a sellout show. Anyone who has been to one of their performances would not be surprised by this.
The tour group conisists of five singers, five musicians, a tap-dancer, and a phenomenal grasp of every musical style known. The greater collective runs to ... it must be nearly a hundred performers.
Performing last night were:
The irrepressible and multi-talented Aubrey Logan on her first visit to Perth. Possesses a wicked sense of humour, an amazing vocal range, and killer trombone skills. Steaming her way through Taylor Smith's "Bad Blood", and rocking out in full 60's style for The Red Hot Chilli Peppers' "Give it Away".
The unstoppable Casey Abrams, on a return visit to Perth (his third, I think), shown on the right with Adam Kubota (bass, bass guitar, musical director, and tour band leader). This is the man who took Toto'…

"Blows its top" is also very misleading. It most likely conjures visions of Mount St Helens or Krakatoa. It the case of Kilauea it will be ground water interactions causing steam explosions about 300 meters down the shaft of the summit crater. These can be quite nasty because any loose rock in the shaft becomes projectiles in a 300m long scattergun. Also a lot of dust and small debris can be entrained in the gas flow and be carried to high altitudes. It can also cause low temperature pyroclastic flows. Low temperature in this case means superheated steam temperature rather than near incandescent rock temperature. It will still kill you by scalding if you get caught by it.
ReplyDeleteBut blowing its top is not quite the scenario the vulcanologists are warning about.
I am now visualising something like that as a planetary defence system... It strikes me as sort of Heath Robinson meets E.E. "Doc" Smith!
ReplyDeleteYou might have a lot of barrel wear from all the contaminants. But if there is a reasonable way to make a steam powered gun that can launch a payload to orbit then you should be able to use a volcano to power it.
ReplyDeleteVolcano spews refrigerators. You wouldn't believe what happens next!
