Ticketweb is the same website that told me 1) that the Fruvous concert in San Francisco would be 21+ (some of you may recall my state of mind upon hearing this), and 2) that the phone number for the club was in the 510 area code (which is very obviously wrong; SF has been 415 since God knows when; Ticketweb is IIRC based in the Bay Area and should have known better, honestly now). The club, when I called them (after finding a correct phone number), had no idea what I was talking about re: the 21+ rumour (they had never even planned to make it 21+). My point here (and I do have one) is to take whatever Ticketweb tells you with an unusually large grain of salt.

First of all, Eddie And The Cruisers II is fully as bad as everyone has said. (Its idea of plot development is to have the band play a full-length generic supposedly-60's-but-actually-80's song while the band's audience gyrates with very bad choreography.) Secondly, nothing quite prepared me for the astonishing amount of hair sported by Dave! It's not just *there*, people, it's positively *long*! (Much longer than the 'do he sports on Bargainville's liner notes... I'd say chin length.) There are several scenes where he flails it around with wild abandon! So, if you simply must get your RDA of Dave, fast-forward through the first half or so of the movie. His first scene has him playing a grand piano, if that helps. He has exactly one line, but he does get a couple of closeups. - --nicole twn who thinks it's nicely subversive to watch a movie for completely different reasons than the filmmakers had in mind *** "I dreamed I went to heaven 'cause I told my lover lies."--Moxy Fruvous Visit Nicolopolis! http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~carlsonn Reply-to address is INCORRECT!
