...The difference between a jazz cat and a rocker is the jazz cat plays 1000 chords for 3 people and the rocker plays 3 chords for 1000 people.
Love that! |

I never bought into this band’s shtick, but I thought this was kind of interesting. Another big band cashes out. First Dylan, then Springsteen, and now these guys.
