Unfortunately, I have known characters that resemble this one. The sad truth is that the venues that book aging “rock stars” are usually indian casinos to draw aging boomers to spend their money on slot machines, etc...

Was thinking this was a straight reference to Rundgren, who pulled a Rondstadt a couple of years ago and toured all-new electronica material and NO hits.

"Micky Adams (Grammer), an eccentric has-been rock musician, loses his grip on reality as his record label looks to drop him and his new ‘unique’ albums."

I remember seeing Waylon Jennings play the Topsfield Fair (in MA) just before he died.

I had seen Waylon in his prime and it was a little sad to see this show because most of the folks up in Massachusetts had no appreciation for him. As he was singing, people were lined up at the concessions to get corn dogs and fried dough. Only about 1/3 of the grandstand was filled.

I think this was also just before he had to have his foot amputated for diabetes. I don't think he needed the money but I think he was doing it to keep his band members and stage crew, etc., employed.
