Love his music, and he hasn't lost anything to age yet, but he takes the label Snowflake to a whole other level. He showed some effete snobbery with a short story about his horror in meeting a Hell's Angel in the restroom who wanted him to play at their convention, heavily insinuating that bikers were horrible, ignorant, scary racist people. In a Grants Pass theater that holds about 200 people, probably at least 3 or 4 dozen of his fans were bikers, and there was a brief moment of awkwardness. All in all a great show by a super talented band, and Grants Pass is turning into quite a nice little town to visit. Nice core with brewpubs and restaurants with music.
Wow, just finished watching the special about this on the National Geographic channel. Amazing. Watch it if you get a chance.
