    Was a big fan and loved Glenn’s voice. Saw they a few years back in Annapolis and they sounded just like my favorite records. Toad and also Joe Jackson have always been favorites.

    I grew up with Devils track a local band that played high schools and bars and they wanted to name band prophylactic milk carton but it would not fly at the schools. Great lead guitarist Chris Noe and still in touch with his brother Greg.

    I am SO GLAD Glen and the guys never let the record stiffs pressure them into re-recording Bread & Circus and Pale. Those records are perfect just as they are.

    Glen must have built a mansion on the Fountain of Youth. He doesn't look a day over 40.

    Hey, what’s up with the cut-out sounds? Did you have to block a band name?

    Most awesome, thank you to my dear friend Cristiane for the notification. 🥰 💜
    Edit: Just finished watching. Adore the expletive-edit ☺️. re The drive to be famous, those who come from humble beginnings have the fuel and the need to break through into that next tax bracket. However, there are people who are already wealthy, use their status and connections to get signed and have the desire to be a household name. They *want* to be famous. Record Companies are still effective at marketing, but so many Artists today use social media to alert their audience of shows, new music releases, appearances, etc. (Which is most beneficial for everyone). At the end of the day, there’s nothing wrong in the avoidance of fame (personally, I would never) - the problem lies in the lamenting of one’s work not being far-reaching when there has been no effort to connect; a catch-22.
