Reminds me of the money I spent to see Todd Rundgren just after his Hermit From Mink Hollow album in 1980. He came out on stage with his "Utopia" nonsense. Nothing was played from his established repetiore, just jazzy heavy metal shrieking with unintelligible lyrics. Most people left after the third song. Although Rundgren was courtious to the crowd at all times. He just felt we didn't get it. A few years later he returned to his roots.

Rod Stewart does cruise lines as his passage fee because he won't fly. It's like he is doing the passengers a holy favor by humming a few bars. Joe Jackson is a flaming jaggoff. Lot's of entertainers think they are something like a religious idol. Speaking of Idol, Billy Idol gives the best concerts ever!

I used to live next door to Grover Washington Jr. He loathed most of the people in the music industry. A very simple family man who loved his dogs and the craftsmanship in his fine 200 year old stone home. A brilliant musician and a classy guy. A big loss.

We went to see the Neville brothers last year here. What a show! They did almost an hour of encores and had people dancing in the aisles!

Huey Lewis also performed a couple of years ago, and I never had so much fun in my life. All his old stuff, and some new stuff, and he took one ten minute break.
