    Bruce is a master merchandiser, and the product is himself. Among his gimmicks is a 'fan' played by courteney cox, who he pulls out of the audience to dance w him.

    Never understood all the hoopla about Bruce, his music blows.

    Kinda like Dylan to me, so many people "claim" they love him, I guess just to be hip or something.

    Shirley, the love of Dylan is not just a "hip" thing. There was a time when I didn't care for Dylan. Then I really gave his music a chance and started to listen. He's one of the greatest songwriters ever. If you read his lyrics without the music, it is just tremendous poetry. Although I agree he isn't for everyone.

    Eric Clapton is out now. I have to say I was most looking forward to Clapton for this concert.

    After layla, it was downhill for clapton. That was, what, 30 yrs ago?

    I'll vouch for Dylan's songwriting.

    Performance-wise, I've experienced both ends of the spectrum.

    As I overheard once at a certain concert,

    "Clapton is King, but Beck is God"

    Clapton sure can play the blues. I really enjoyed that performance.

    Can't wait for Sir Paul McCartney!

    After the Katrina display, I can't believe they are going to have Kanye West.

    SATANUS - Is there another "Beck"?

    Oh yeah, that guy. . . (I like "Beck" as well)

    Yes, that happened to be at a JB concert. The man is UNreal.
