    Brethren and Sistren,

    I don't mind the boys playing a fair. State Fairs are kind of like farmers' markets except that the people tend to be overweight, funnel cake not know for its organic origins, operated alternately by the Carnival Hands Union or Teamsters, and mostly found in outlying communities of the hot, dusty, humid interior of the Great State of California. You'll be pleased at the many homeless dressed up in filthy costumes of your favorite superhero shaking you down for a few coins after an impromptu photo op in which he/she literally stands in front of your family just as you snap a shot, demanding payment for the thrill, the various teens and gang members that infiltrate the parking lot (or when they've "acquired" sufficient finances, actually purchase entry), the loud music from many quarters competing for your attention, and other super duper experiences. Upon leaving, if the general daytime heat and humidity haven't extinguished your breath for life, usually the dust kicked up at such an affair can do the trick. And that huge cattle ranch down the road? If the breeze blows just right you'll have a front row seat to organic cow patty production. I'm pretty sure if DLR can withstand the filtered, cold air of some of last tour's arenas, he'll be quite at home in dust and dung residue.

    But I still might go, I'll just take a rental car... uh huh uh huh uh huh

        What is stopping you?

        the invest millions part is hitting a bit of a snag. The whole risk everything doesn't mean much when you have nothing to risk. And then there's just being a lazy fuck. That isn't helping much. In fact I almost didn't respond I'm so lazy.

          And fuck you guys giving me shit for saying I don't like the idea of them playing at the state fair. Years ago I'm pretty sure all of you took a shot or two about them playing a lowly state fair with Cherone. But now that Dave is singing it's a "smart one-off that we should be thankful for". Yeah, I am glad they are playing at all...doesn't mean I can't wish for more, bigger, better.

          Now be nice or I'll fill this thread with snaggleteeth.

                      Who gives a fuck where they are playing ?! Some of my favorite shows have been at the MN. state fair. Rush, Dave solo. R.E.O. with Gary.( LOUD !) and B.B. King. Fuck at least they are playing ! Outside and plenty of seats. I would think it will be a big sell in the home state. Come play ours !

                            FORD,

                            You know I am a connoisseur of Springfield's music and acting stint on General Hospital. I felt I didn't want to go the obvious route with "I've Done Everything For You" especially since, performance aside (Rick wins), I think someone trying to make a comparison of two Sammy-penned vignettes would overdose one on love, hey, baby, and woohs!

                              Rick improving a Hagar song isn't all that surprising (not a very high hurdle) but his first band actually improved on a Beatles song, and that's damn near impossible......



                              hard to believe that's a future soap star blasting out Iommi-ish riffs on that SG.

                                There ain't no fair like a Midwest fair, and a Midwest fair don't stop!

                                The fairs I attended during my stint in Michigan were a bit more, is "sophisticated" the word (?), than the West Coast. Somewhere along the Chisolm Trail between Des Moines and The Rockies, the fine art of fairing (?) was a bit corrupted.

                                Nevertheless, if Van Halen wanted to stay loose I'm sure they easily could have booked a slot at Coachella if the motivation was just staying loose. In any event, hopefully some of these shows are just to take a break from the studio. A new album release +\- 30 years after 1984 is in the offing. You can take that to the bank...
