I used to say that CAPTAIN FANTASTIC was his last great record, but have since
grown to respect ROCK OFTHE WESTIES a lot more than I did on first listen. TOO
LOW FOR ZERO was a nice bounce-back moment, but it turned out to be the
exception, not the rule.
Seeing him on Tsunami Aid last night made me want to shoot the TV. When he does
those older songs it reminds you just how incredibly great he really was, once
upon a time.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
