Anon, that's because he's playing them just for me :) I've tried every time to grab a set list but the same damn girl gets them everytime (It's funny when you see RObyn in Portland the same people are at every show. It never changes) but one time I did get his guitar pick from the stage. That's even better cause he sweat on it...

Queenie: I have read that he needed to get away from the band but he does miss it to the core, I saw the same energy in him last year and last summer. I think the band was too much "work" not related to music: schedules, money, Morris and Andy had other things going on.

Alas I've never seen The Egyptians at all. I came along too late. BUt I would LOVE to see Robyn perform with a group. Last time we saw him, he'd be playing something like "Kingdom of Love" and he'd throw his head back and start rocking out like a maniac, and my husband and I just looked at each other like "hmmm....what's wrong with this picture." There was no band! He was rocking out to music that wasn't there. I thought Hey if he wants to play with a rock & roll band that much, he should get one fer chrissake.

Anon...The last two times I saw him he seemed real low-key and out of it. But the first time I saw him, when I barelly knew who he was, he put on one hell of a show. He played "the devil's coachman" and I was in love. He played for a long long time and did a couple of encores. I love Robyn H concerts too because they're so polite.

Queenie: I agree he told fewer stories. That was the disappointing thing about the Warfield show last year (october) with Billy Bragg. Virtually NO stories, and he seemed down. Kind of low key and not into it. Deni Bonet was magic though, quite a spry lady and a great addition musically (I like her contributions to Beautiful Queen on Mossy Liquor)

What you say about butt kissing is kind of true, but everything changes

provices think B.C. is out of it's mind ..and they may be
right..however,nova scotia and newfound land are our pals..more in

which province, i think. nova scotia canadians love americans, but the
rest politely look down on them. americans like everyone, sometimes even
the french! how the british feel about americans changes from person to
person, moment to moment.

NAFTA and all that, the Canadian products are just pouring over the
Buffalo/Southern Ontario boarder. Anyhow - glad you are back in one
piece mooch. I was at a night club in London, aw, what was it, something
feathers? Fellows. Goodfeathers? The high light was seeing the late
great Tiny Tim walking around with a group of incredibly attractive
women. Anyhow, I was reluctantly dancing with a girl who was surprised I
was American because I as so quiet. "I thought all American men were
loud, aggressive sexual carnivours" she said or something like that. I
just shrugged. I think she was disappointed with me.
