This makes me sad

Post by War Wagon »

Robin Trower is going to have a concert here at Harrahs casino Voodoo lounge.

Christ, another legendary musician forced to whore themselves out during the sunset of their career trying to scrape two nickels together. It almost makes you feel glad that other legends died before their time.

I'm not going, and prefer to remember him this way.

Wow, awesome sound...I honestly never heard of them before and I'm big into classic rock.

Edit--I see that he did an album with Jack Bruce last year. Is this tour promoting that?

Have you heard of Procol Harem? If not, you need to check them out.

He's playing a shit casino lounge in NKC... he's not going there because he still likes playing... he's going to eat steak and crab legs, as opposed to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Why can't it be both? He likes playing and he could use the coin. Pretty simple.

There's gotta be worse ways to earn a few bucks. I just hope Pickle doesn't enter this discussion.

Not that Procul Harem our any of his other projects sold like The Beatles or anything but I'd assume if he had spent a little less money on dope and alcohol back in the day that he wouldn't have to play behind the chicken wire at places like Bob's Country Bunker.

Just sayin'.

Awesome guitarist, btw.

Quite.

Just came across this and it blows the doors off anything Van or shutyomouth ever thought was good guitar work.

I scoff in their general direction.
