The Mighty Trent
Last week, I was fortunate to be able to see the final Nine Inch Nails concert on their Wave Goodbye tour. Midway through the show, Gary Numan came out and performed with the band for a few songs. Numan has also appeared in a cabinet on the epic show The Mighty Boosh, and I wondered aloud over Twitter if that meant uber-Numan fan Vince Noir might also make an appearance. I posed the question to the biggest Boosh fan I know, @bonniegrrl. This is from the epic tweetstorm that followed:
jaybushman: Gary Numan just took the stage. Can Vince Noir be far behind? #TheMightyTrent #NIN
jaybushman: @bonniegrrl: Trent is pulling some serious shapes. He's one of the? great frontmen. And he doesn't even need two hats. ? #TheMightyTrent #NIN
