Hey, Matt! Anybody read the Rod Stewart bio? During the marathon, Listener Tim told me it was worth a look.

Never heard of Rod's, is it an autobio?

I assume the Rod Stewart Bio it reads like a Harlequin Romance novel, but the "Hunk" looks like a wrinkly old Aunt?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:15am

@Matt: Keeping tabs, I see! Yes, it's Rod'a, apparently. @MJ: I'm sure it has more action than the Pete Townshend bio!

It was not what I expected, even though I have the set that came out. Gibbons is the only guitar player and only singer. The other guys don't even sing backup. If it was billed as a billy gibbons solo show I would not have gone. That said, he's an exciting performer and we were right at the stage.

@KP: That's cool. In his interview with Joe Belock, he said the other guys have kept playing all along. Were they tight?

  2:34am
Holly in NC:

@KP are you glad you went?
Avatar 2:37am
KP:

They were fine. Very basic. The bass was mostly root notes similar to ZZ top. The organ was good but kind of loud (I hate organ except Manzarek). The drummer was quiet. Some of their songs were kind of epic but it was all Gibbons.

Creasy greens fresh only - they're like watercress (except not) ;-). But you *could* cook & freeze, like any other green. My freezer is too full of chicken bones, shrimp shells, galangal, & chia seeds. And bacon. And lard. Oh, freezer.
