Big D - Can't believe someone as narrow minded & homophobic as you is a Todd Rundgren fan. Remember the 70's? Love? How did you end up at this show? You saw Joe Jackson was on the ticket didn't you? And the String Group? You must have KNOWN you wouldn't enjoy that. About your comments....

"Joe Jackson's voice was ridiculously awful" - Started a little slow, but by the 3rd song his pipes were giving me shivers.

"Its fine to be gay, but save the sailor jokes for your close friends, not normal people." - Don't lump us in with you, moron. While you were worried about his sexual orientation, the rest of us were captivated by his incredible ability to write & convey great lyrics.

"give us what we want" - at the end of the show, sounds like everybody 'got what they wanted' from the applause & encore calls. Again, don't lump us in with you, moron.

"Pack of hill billies with violins" - Far from it. An incredible quartet, and that's an understatement. The real hillbilly is at home writing reviews telling everybody that Joe Jackson is trying to shove homesexuality down his throat.

"no one heard from him since 1982 and steppin out" - Proves who the REAL hillbilly is! Come down from the hilltop occasionally.

"even todd wouldn't choose that bizarre cast if asked" - Please Big D, tell us more about your secret pipeline to TR.

"i look forward to seeing one hopefully late this year, if possible TODD?" - I'm really sure he's gonna embrace your comments and plan his tour accordingly. Maybe the next tour will be 'TR & BIG-D' and all of us manly men can show up without having to worry about walking out gay.

Todd, Joe & Ethel, I thought it was an incredible experience, and the highlight was all 3 acts playing together. Especially Todd & Joe singing Verse & Chorus respectively on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps.' And 'Black Maria' was MADE to be played with strings like that in my opinion. We are not all as narrow minded as 'Big D' up here!! Thanks especially to Joe Jackson for making it out. Have wanted to see you perform live for a long time.
