Soft Commands has been released in Europe, Australia, and many other territories, on Rykodisc Int’l, with two fantastic bonus tracks. It appears that it will be released later in the year in Japan, on Rykodisc as well, perhaps with some alternate mixes? Keep posted.
The Vote For Change tour came to a successful conclusion in Washington DC, with an all star-ish lineup (my stepdad, age 79, preferred Jurassic 5!) on Oct. 11. Televised on the Sundance Channel, and streamed on Real Networks, I think we can say that, we did what we could with what we had access to (in other words, no thank you very much to the major networks—I mean, I am sure they could have given fair and balanced equal coverage to a pro-Bush concert… yeah right—two skinhead bands and a couple of country western dudes puttin’ boots in an Osama doll’s ass). With Vote for Change and its supporters, substantial risks were taken, and that earns my respect, at the very least. And I think it will have an impact on the upcoming election, we’ll see if it helps tip the egg over the roof. Cluck.
I would also like to add that Bruce Springsteen, his band and crew, were nothing less then people of the highest order, kindness and generosity. It was a blast and and an honor to get to know them and share the stage with the Boss and co.
REM’s headlining tour begins today, highlighted by the fact that BOB WEBER did something for me, personally, today.
Still getting those KS tour dates together… looking good tho’.
