You ever have a band that you fall absolutely in love with -- live and breathe it for days, weeks, months or even years....and then something happens, and you just don't buy that next album. it went from obsession to neglect.
mine was U2. i was so overwhelmed by them. Boy, to me, remains their shining achievement. I loved October, and the third record, and the fourth less so.
maybe it coincided with their rising fame, and it no longer came my special secret. i saw them a tiny club, but now i was forced to share them with millions, in arena settings.
also their songs got longer, more ponderous, and less hooky.
whats your example?
( i also felt this way about the police. and it also coincided with fame, so maybe its more about me than it is about them)
Congratulations to @steve-allen and @wilbner. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Steve-allen What pet did you always want but never got ?
@Wilbner What food have you "overdosed" on many years ago, and refuse to eat now?
Hey everyone, summer is peaking now and had to get away for some RnR and attended the Baseball Circus--aka Cosmic Takeover Tour in Reno NV...not my cup of tea but the families with kids enjoyed it...chaos on top of chaos

If you watched the Five the past 15 years, you'd heard perhaps unknowingly, the Cramps. I've played their songs hundreds of times, over the years - often my favorite songs of theirs repeatedly, hoping to create new fans of the greatest rock and roll band ever.
the band ended with Lux Interior's death - and since then most of the integral players have either expired or moved on. Guitarist Poison Ivy has led a fairly reclusive life, likely not getting much from the Cramps legendary status.
Maybe until now. Thanks to Henry Rollins - a massive Cramps fan - he's resurrected the Cramps old label Vengeance records, and released a collection of old songs from a late 70' studio session, done back during the recording of classic album "songs the lord taught us." Produced by Alex Chilton and done on a shoe-string in Memphis - its controlled madness. the record "Gravest Gravy" came out last week, so I picked up both digital and vinyl - knowing that Ivy is gunna see some of that dough.
if you ...
