I don't disagree (much) with what's been said lately about Todd, but I
really liked the Liars CD and tour from a few years ago. His band (which
included New Cars Kasim and Prairie) were outstanding.

NOW we're getting to the bottom of this stuff.  Same experience here
and, I
might add, many of the faithful feel screwed over by Todd's online
subscription deal that apparently didn't yield what was promised.  I'm a
long-time fan - bought Something/Anything new when it came out as a kid
-
but the last ten years have left me cold.  I've seen the same attitude
described here and am wondering how much of his fan base is left?

My take is this;

After putting on lackluster "solo" show after lackluster solo
show...Todd 
knows full well that he's taken for granted those concert attendees who 
aren't "rabid" fans. (aka, "the faithful")

From my observations/from attending 20+ shows from 93-95 (and that many 
others between 74-93)....I've personally witnessed people walking out of

Todd shows since he did "NWO" and tried to become MC500ft ToddJesus.
Many 
times...it seems that Todd PURPOSELY leaves off the songs folks want to
hear

(the "hits") because he doesn't enjoy playing em...and because he's 
**always** ran squarely away from who he really is...which is a 70's 
tunesmith with marginal popularity who had enough success to thumb the 
industry.....and....who is NOW paying for that (ridiculous) stance
through 
tribute concerts and tours held together with BONDO.

"I'd rather live by a dream than by a lie"(?)  <<<<so WTF happened Todd?

back uda tha rock
