Nonsense. By any token, JB would sell at tickets of at least #15 ($22)
in the UK. Cheap by US Who prices, but for the kind of clubs that he
*could* play - Coal Exchange in Cardiff, Vicar Street in Dublin, JB's in
Dudley, that is the going rate.

I still personally believe he could do a reasonably successful tour in
the UK.

Nope. AWDAR 2 is already set up and both Todd Rundgren and JAE are
involved. If it does come to Europe or the UK later this year it will be
without them.
