Now That's Guitar
You know, if Robert Quine was in my band, I'd be good too.
I'd also be in heaven, but that's another story.

George markets only for the forces of good for a living. He has a paid hobby that involves eating, drinking, and writing, things he’d do for free, which is almost what he’s doing it for. In a previous life he taught mostly illiterate and generally ungrateful college students how to write. He has been a body guard for Jodie Foster, a walk-on dancer with French avant garde troupe Maguy Marin, a film programmer, a judge at an Iron Chef style competition, a political activist, a textbook author, a bassist in a band, a two-time league winning fantasy baseball manager, a union local president, a pr flack helping run a red carpet at an Angelina Jolie event, a janitor, a chauffeur to folks from TC Boyle to Andrei Codrescu, a delivery man to Plato's Retreat, a reluctant writer of a non-snarky intro for Colin Powell, a radio DJ, a corn detassler, an escort van driver, a rock journalist, a lab assistant for a company that made everything from mouthwash to super skin lubricant, and even, once, a poet. His biggest brush with fame was when Julie Christie fondled his tie, a tie George Lopez belittled to 1000 people minutes later. The best thing about him is his wife. His dogs aren't bad, either.

Man, when is Sweet gonna put out another album? And tour? Has he ever played SB?
After admitting you liked Rush while dissing Mike Oldfield I'm not sure how to respond, Averageman....
but Sweet did play the Majestic Ventura Theatre way back in 1995 (?) or so because I was there. And he did put out that album with Susanna Hoffs last year and I think they toured behind it, not sure. They didn't make it to these parts.
bliss.
