Wow, by the pictures I've seen of him today, he looks like he's 58 instead of 48! Well anyway, happy birthday Joe Jackson! One hell of an artist right there. I would celebrate by listening to the only JJ album I have, Look Sharp, but Erick Labson's remastering gave me a headache when I finally listened to it on better equipment.
I know! I thought he would be older as well. No matter, he's a musical genius and I hope he keeps making music for many years to come. His latest album is very good. A friend loaned me the CD with the bonus live disc. Excellent stuff. Dan C
Re: Re: Happy Birthday Joe Jackson Mark doesn't go out anymore. Just sits at home and rolls his spastic eyes Peace- Norm PS: told you we wuz kindred spirits..
His upcoming San Francisco show got "downsized" from the Warfield to the Fillmore... I'm a huge fan, but $35 tickets on the second pass through town behind the latest album probably wasn't the smartest idea ever.
I saw him on this last go 'round and it was a fun show with a smaller crowd. The band was really tight. He's a funny guy and I wish him many more years of good music!
