Location: Boise, Idaho | At the risk of being slammed by you guys (again) we went to see them at an outdoor concert last night. Good concert, as far as they go. It's been years since I've been to a concert where someone or several people near me haven't ruined the concert by talking constantly or standing and "dancing" through the whole thing. This was no exception. Many drunk women. Carlyle has a great voice, huge range and does a nice simple opening act.
Crow puts on much more of a show and has a great guitar player who seemed to switch guitars for each song.
I was talking to the owner of the local guitar shop today and he said a bunch of them came in yesterday to poke around for parts and just check out guitars. He said they were really down to earth guys. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Yeah, I just don't appreciate it like I used to. Most of them have been drinking way too much beer for too many years. Sheryl is way easier to look at than some female version of Norm swaying in front of me. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I read it already. I had also seen something on it when channel surfing a long time ago, bit forgot most of it. Are all artists weird or do they get that way? Just another thing I'll never have to worry about--some good looking gold digger using me to get ahead. Lack of talent, looks or money has its benefits. |

Location: big island | the cause of kevin's death is listed as auto-asphyxiation, not suicide, and which may not have anything to do with sheryl. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Well, as a fan and someone who has researched a lot of this over the years, the article that was linked is full of inaccurate information along with bits of the truth. I felt the article was more of a reason to bring up and review "shaming of the true".
There are lots of good reading on the whole affair if you search around and it is interesting material.
He actually died like Lanaki mentioned of auto-asphyxiation and based on the way the body was found, it was obvious that sex games had gone bad and whoever was with him at the time of death, split the scene and never came forward. |

KG is one of the artists I would have loved to have followed as his career progressed. Every album was something new and/or different.
I have some videos of him busking on the street in Boulder Colorado. Amazing stuff. |

Location: south east Michigan | I really like a couple of Sheryl Crow's tunes.
I've been successful so far in pretty much avoiding her soap opera life and politicing.
Shut up and play and I'll be happy.
I love the timbre of her voice. |
