Good for you to include Rick Springfield in must see concerts. Yes, everyone thinks of him as a pretty boy soap star but don’t judge until you’ve seen him in concert. He puts on a hell of a show-he’s an excellent guitarist-a consummate song writer (check out Shock, Denial, Anger, Acceptance) and appreciates his fans. Give him a try-I guarantee you’ll love it!

The Smashing Pumpkins in Asheville last night was insane…

Ok The Police rocked last night…they sucked Wednesday…what a difference 4 nights makes!

Um HELLO?!?!?! Wilco at Hammerstein in New York tonight?? Why isn’t that up here??

Sorry but The Police were so lame on Wednesday, I’m sad I have a ticket for Saturday’s show and have to sit through it again or eat $115.

Thanks, Sting, for completely ripping the balls out of every last song you played Wednesday night.

I read reviews saying he still had his voice…did he pay them?

Kudos to Stewart at least. And to Andy - there’s something amusing about watching a 64 year old do the ‘jump and do the splits’ thing four times in a row.

It wasn’t quite the weekend, but, Thursday night the Black Keys and Dino jr. at the Tabernacle in Atlanta was off the hook. J.Mascis RULES!

Steve Miller? Jefferson Starship? Rick Springfield???? What the hell is wrong with you people? These guys weren’t even good when they weren’t old…

Jefferson Starship are still together? Or is it still 1988 and the cocaine I bought is even better than I thought?
