Hey kids;
I've been  a Mould fan for a brief 7 years...he's a great musician, highly
articulate, a very intelligent and soulful songwriter, and doesn't mince
words when provoked...most of the time.  
Give Bob a chance.
    I don't expect his solo show to bludgeon tympanic nerves the way his band
Sugar did, but it will be worthwhile...I would expect PT fans to give Mould a
respectful listen. Hey, we dig Pete because he writes intelligent songs...
BTW, I'm really envious of you folks who do have the good fortune to see both
of these guys on the same night. I'm pay big bucks to see them, if I had the
opportunity.
Keep the faith. Sometimes it's all we've got.
