Just saw an ad for Ringo Starr and his All Starr band and was briefly taken aback by the line-up. It's Ringo. John Waite. Paul Carrack. Colin Hay. Sheila E. and Billy Joel's sax player. Do you think they do Octopus's Garden into Missing You into Land Down Under into Glamorous Life into an all-starr jam of Billy Joel's I Love You Just The Way You Are into, um, a Paul Carrack song, you know, one of those Squeeze songs or something. Because that would be really cool. Who besides Geir would go see this?

It's always a joy to get a chance to link to Ringotour.com

I just realized now that he calls it "All Starr" band instead of "All Star" band because he doesn't want to get sued for false advertising.

I wouldn't. Not with Ringo Starr and Sheila E present on stage. :-)

Though apparently, Geir, Greg Lake (who was on the last one) said that Sheila E plays "Karn Evil 9" better than Carl Palmer... :)

Put in Andrew Ridgeley and the other guy from the Pet Shop Boys and I'm there, brother...with bells on and with baited breath.

electro-indie hipsters love shelia e. (though, she was good in 'all you can eat')

That doesn't surprise me in the least: ELP had one of the stiffest rhythm sections in history.

A Statement From Joe Walsh Regarding His Withdrawl From a Concert Event on Monday, July 18th in Cleveland, OH
April 20, 2016 - "It was my understanding that I was playing a concert which was a non partisan event to benefit the families of American veterans on Monday, July 18 in Cleveland. The admat I approved said this specifically. Today it was announced that this event is, in fact, a launch for the Republican National Convention. In addition, my name is to be used to raise sponsorship dollars for convention-related purposes. Therefore, I must humbly withdraw my participation in this event with apologies to any fans or veterans and their families that I might disappoint.
I am very concerned about the rampant vitriol, fear-mongering and bullying coming from the current Republican campaigns. It is both isolationist and spiteful. I cannot in good conscience endorse the Republican party in any way. I will look at doing a veteran related benefit concert later this year."
-- Joe Walsh
