**He’s a popular minstrel?**
Ha, ha! I had never heard of him either. Even in my teens to late 20s, when I was nearly always listening to music, I only went to one concert: 1974. Was supposed to be the Doobie Bros, but they had to cancel. Beach Boys replaced them.
The girl I was dating wanted to go. It was there I realized the crowd just feeds off each other. I didn’t need that phoney high. Even in those years I never viewed famous musicians as any more special than anybody else. But lemmings will be lemmings.
The irony is that many people bemoan “stars” but then lesser-known people are sort of diminished because they’re…well...not stars.
Parenthetically, Oderus was on Red Eye a number of times.
