Thaks for the link, Bobbi my fellow Squeeze fan! The concert was fabulous, despite the chronically late Angelenos causing Fountains of Wayne to play to a pretty empty house "Many opening acts seeing only 30% of the seats filled would only give 30%", Adam Schlesinger said, "I want to point out that we gave you 70%" Very funny.
Squeeze was great--they were very tight and managed all the odd and wonderful rhythmic shifts of those songs beautifully. Glenn's voice is amazing and he and Chris seemed to be having so much fun up there. I almost got tears in my eyes when the whole theatre stood and sang "Pulling Mussels from a Shell" along with the band.
Robin, have you seen Glenn when he tours solo acoustic and plays coffeehouses? The last time I'd seen him, he played Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA. It holds a little over 100 people. Also, have you seen the DVD, Glenn Tilbrook--One for the Road? It's a documentary of Glenn's cross-country solo acoustic tour in an RV. Much fun.
I haven't, but we heard him talking about the trip on the radio and I would REALLY love to see it. Thanks for reminding me!

That Suzi Quatro sure plays a mean guitar.
No, I will never get tired of that joke.

I never noticed how much Rick Derringer looks like Suzi Quatro before. He's even her (tiny) height.
If I'm not mistaken that's dapper Dan Hartman on funky bass. He would go on to have some solo hits during the disco era.
Oh! Fiona, thanks for the Gomez recs. And I'd love to hear rarer stuff.

I'd swear I've joked on a few occasions that Leather Tuscadero was Rick Derringer's greatest performance next to "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo".
How's the book going? Ignore that if it's a bad question.

Actually I should have the book done by the end of this month.
So...I like it! I wrote the kind of book that
I'd
want to read.

So tapping my foot impatiently is an OK response?
