Since its last appearance here, Mink DeVille, like Costello, has sanded away the rough edges and crafted a set geared for larger halls. As calculated as the routine has become (Willy did his patented knee drops on a cushioned pad at the front of the stage), his dedication to the street prevailed. After one scene where he lit a cigarette, tossed his coat over his shoulder, and stood alone in a single spotlight, at least two members of the audience described him as the John Travolta of rock. But watching him slide across the floor on greased heels during his sole encore, I'd rather remember him as James Brown for people who never forgot how to camel walk. | Since its last appearance here, Mink DeVille, like Costello, has sanded away the rough edges and crafted a set geared for larger halls.
