So...word is Dave is focusing on his acting career. Starwood isn't that surprised, given that most of the rock legends - at one point or another - have.
Jagger. Bowie. Daltry. Even Bob Dylan. I'm sure there's many more.
Should we count Sting?
The point is - what do you think his chances are of success?
Some might say his bit on the Sopranos was a good start. In terms of visiblity, it absolutely was. But he was playing himself. Not the toughest job for an actor.
Bottom line? Every rock legend who played this game came back to the sandlot where they started - and belong. On a stage fronting a great rock and roll band.
Given what's currently going down w/VH - and the eventual decay of excitement - it might be safe to say that doing a cameo/movie here/there might not be a bad idea. You know he'll nail it - and that will keep him in the public eye. And you know about that time, the Van Hagar swindle will fail. After the buzz wears off, the records don't sell...the fingerpointing will begin. We all know Sammy doesn't need VH. He'll split in a heartbeat. The guys almost 60, and he'll be happy fading off into the sunset with his cheap tequila and Waboritas. He's got enough money to assure the next two generations live like kings. Sorry. Got a little sidetracked.
Dave's been playing the club/arena retro classic tour for many years now. When did I see him w/Bad Co? 99? And every summer since?
Might be time for a well deserved rest. Would not be suprised at all if he cans the Euro tour if the album isn't selling well.
Starwood thinks Dave should go for it and his chances are good.
By the time TV/Film gets sick of Dave - Sammy will be sick of VH.
And then we all meet up once again - in the sandlot - and have ourselves a party.
