A small story about why you should be there and why I have to be there!
Hello again Shark Forum. Haven't had a chance to write on here for a while as it basically slipped and slipped even further away from my mind. Also, I think for the most part, SF is about the visual art world and not so much the sonic one. Sharkboy has always insisted that ain't true and says it's because Rizzo and I are too lazy to write anything. There's a bit of truth there as well. It's also a lot more fun to piss off Sharkboy than to please him. That's another good reason not to write. I think the best reason to write, though, is when there's an event or show worth something to me and that I think would be a shame to miss. I was lucky enough to find out that guitarist and songwriter Richard Lloyd was going to play the Abbey Pub on May 9th by Sean Duffy, who books the club and asked if I'd open the show. It didn't take my band and me long to say yes.

In New York City, in the East village at West Fourth and Jane Street, there’s a little old tavern that serves the best hamburger you’ll ever have. The place is simply named The Corner Bistro.
Ok, I know I haven’t written for the forum in a while now. Told Sharkboy I was just too busy, but in reality…LAZY is a much more accurate description. Anyway, after a conversation last night with Finface about Wilco’s new album he said to me, (in between assassinating some poor shmendrick on BAS) “You should review the record on Sharkforum, Blockhead!”
I get more people asking, “When are you guys going to play another show with Blondie?” than just about any other question.
Last night I took my son, (age thirteen) to the Chicago Theatre to see a performance by a guitar player who, when I was young, (age thirteen) was one of my heroes.
If you read Rick Rizzo's last article in sharkforum, you'll notice that Rick and I, offhandedly, began a verbal dialog on the music business at the shark's lair a couple of weeks ago. We decided that we'd both begin a series of stories on the music business to see if we could un-earth some clues into its, and more selfishly, my own future.
A friend of mine once asked me what the biggest difference between Buddy Guy and Jimi Hendrix was.
My answer: "A plane ticket."
