If any of you have Axs TV (I have it on Directv), I recommend a show by Dan Rather, called "The Big Interview."

I never realized how much Rather is into music. He started off by interviewing almost exclusively Classic Rock icons, but has branched into other genres as well.

The reason I mention this, is that his interview with Gene Simmons was particularly intriguing. From a distance, I've always viewed the guy as kind of a "money whore," but I have to admit, there's a lot more to him. Definitely worth watching.

I liked his interview with Steve Van Zant. That guy has seen a thing or two when it come to rock music history.

He's had several that were very well done - Simmons as mentioned above, Geddy Lee, Krieger and Densmore, Steve Perry. Mellencamp was interesting only in the fact that I didn't realize how much of a tool he is. He came across with a bit of a 'tude to say the least.

Mellencamp was the headliner at the 2017 Mississippi Valley Fair in Davenport. They advertised him for months, and the crowds responded. The grandstand and mosh pits were packed. Absolutely packed. I took the more modest approach and sat in the grandstands. 24,000 people were in attendance.

People were truly stoked, including me, as I've been listening to him for years and years.

Then it all fell apart. He was 45 minutes late without an excuse. He then had his opening act go on and on and on, then he played for like an hour and all he did was new stuff. He also refused to do a meet n greet and didn't allow a video of his performance so people deeper in the crowd could see him.

After all this, I left..as did about 1/3 of the crowd. I had zero interest in spending another minute listening to this doofus although he finally played his old stuff. Screw him. He was awful and will never be invited back to that venue again.
