When K2 Speaks...we all listen

K2 posted a little note on Greasylake today. It went something like this:

Tour should defintely start in fall, most probably October - dates/arenas still being worked out.

There will be, eventually, lots of European dates.

Looking for big marketing cross-over type vehicles/opportunities to catch younger/new listeners.

Some (many?) of the new songs, according to Clarence, have a Sly and the Family Stone kinda feel.

Clarence, and his hips, are doing well. He's down to a 'playing weight' of about 295 lbs. and totally looking forward to the tour.

This will be, without doubt, the last E Street Band tour as we know it -- though they will, with their we'll-rip-Republicans-and-pretend-we-care-about-the-little-people-but-we-are-the-biggest-capitalists-on-the-planet practices -- not say anything about a 'final' tour until they feel they have saturated the market. Then 'the big announcement' will come, trying to play us all for fools.

Personally, I don't care how they market it, I just happen to enjoy spending about three hours (ten if you count the tailgating smile.gif ) gathering with friends and family listening to the best live rock 'n roll experience available. I know many of you feel the same way.

Last tour? Say it ain't so!
