[kj] The Weirdness Has Begun!

The Weirdness = great sound, passable slightly silly

Hi Chris, Except for the 1st and last 2 songs, the
Dolls album is a true joy. I think they're better on
cd than live (saw both reunion tours--ok but not
outstanding). Sylvain's joking doesn't bother
me--anyone his age, who's doing it after a 32 year
layoff, can say whatever they want! Haven't heard the
new Iggy, but his stuff never did much for me. My
friends went to the Boston show and said it was great,
but I couldn't make it. RU coming to Boston this year?
We'll have a baby Joker by then, but it would be great
to see you in town again. 
Greg
