FYI: Blues Traveler stiffed my reporter who was promised an interview to run in the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning special section, which I just finished, but you'll have to wait until Sunday to read.
Yo, Popper, put the gun down, put the bong down, and pick up the phone, or you're going to end up begging for gigs at Club Bene. Wasn't their last hit record in like, 1968?
I know, it's closed, but we used to love recognizing Club Bene as Club Has-been-ay, where the headliners were either on the way up or the way down. I've been to gigs there where there were more musicians onstage than there were people in the audience (King Sunny Ade and his African Beats had us outnumbered 2 to 1).
Loudon Wainwright used to play there for their infamous "dinner and a concert" shows and would always take a poll--"OK, show of hands, who had the chicken and who had the fish?"
