Last night I saw Status Quo at The House Of Blues. For a bunch of geezers those guys can still rock! They had a slew of white Marshall stacks, one of which blew a fuse during a song (I guess they must have had it turned up to 11). They did 20 songs from throughout their career (although no "Pictures of Matchstick Men", which disappointed me and I'm sure a few others in the crowd), and it all sounded great. Their brand of boogie is the easy listening equivalent of hard rock, meaning it's very simple and easy to digest...and lots of fun! The Waking Hours opened, and were excellent; after a time they started to win over the Quo-rum. The one curiousity was that there was a huge contingent of Hispanics in the crowd, and they were clearly there to see Status Quo. I hadn't realized that the band had tapped into that market. Does anyone know how or when that happened? -- Pop Rules!!!!! Take Care, David
