Hawk! Agree with everything you said; liked your comments. Now, to turn things around, name your Top Ten
List of Over-Rated Big Name Acts...lets say minimum 3 top-
selling albums to justify the "over-rated" tag, as opposed to being a one- hit wonder...without going list- crazy, how
about naming a couple of acts you were "dragged" to see to "keep the peace" and were surprised as hell to find out
they could put on an entertaining show...I saw The BeeGees do a show in a small market Canadian arena in the 70's;
they put on a first rate show with crisp sound in a dumpy
arena in a situation where they could have just shown up, smiled for the crowds, and walked away with the cash. Also
saw Tom Jones in the U.S., against my will, and also saw
a surprisingly strong singer do a great "show".
