The gals are still great, but Fred just seems to be phoning it in.

Two things have happened: (1) As you point out, they have aged but their shtick has not and (2) (which is worse) "Love Shack," which draws a crowd equivalent to what I imagine Jimmy Buffet draws- -aging, trying-too-hard "party people." I left early when I last saw them (at Chicago's House of Blues) because it was kind of sad. For a long time now, their best songs live were from the first 2.5 albums. B-warenoreply@blogger.com
