JJ was on Later.... last week(?) and he scared me. I'm not a fan, has he always been that creepy?

The eyebrows, man, the eyebrows!

Yea, Bunny. I've always liked him, but he's always been a little odd looking.

Still, you know, good music.

How's that collar bone?

hmmm...coming to Atlanta...might have to check him out just cuz. With White Stripes, Blur, John Hiatt and Jeff Beck/BB King coming in the next few months I'm gonna be a busy (albeit broke and glad of it) boy

Edit: Ooops...left out Dylan, Ben Folds (although he IS opening for Tori Amos...whatever that's about), Steve Earle, and REM...but at least I think I can pass on the Queensryche and REO Speedwagon...

Unfortunately I couldn't make the UK tour, but I did see him playing live last Friday on a tv programme over here called Later, which is hosted by Jools Holland. The band looked in good form and were very tight. They played three tracks, Take It Like A Man & Awkward Age from Volume 4 and Is She Really Going Out With Him. Jools also did a brief interview with Joe, in which Joe said that he was sick of America (apparently he's been living in NYC) and that he would soon be moving back to Europe, so it seems strnage that he is now doing an extended US tour.
If you can go I would recommend it.

Cheers

I'm afraid I am going to have to join the Otis Front on JJ. I picked up a copy of Look Sharp! last week. It lasted about three days before I decided to sell it back. Dull, airless and predictable.

What I do know is that the new cd is hot and he sounds like his old self.

I'm not as excited about him as I am about Elvis, but still it means a road trip and a concert. His music brings back a lot of fond memories for me from college and when I first met my husband, who is actually a bigger fan than I am.

But to see the look on his face when he found out about the concert. It's one of those looks that you want to see on the face of the person you love.
