Hi Bob,<\/p>\n
For those that don’t hate Pablo Cruise … at my first meeting with the band, I was immediately taken with their incredible drummer Steve Price, and the original bass player Bud Cockrell. Man could they groove! Bud was a Southern boy and had a wonderful gritty voice that went well with guitarist David Jenkins’ smoother higher voice. The vocal tradeoffs in “Whatcha Gonna Do?” show that perfectly.\u00a0 But right when “WGD” was flying up the charts, Bud’s wife made him quit the band and start a duo with her.\u00a0 If the band’s loss of Bud’s singing, playing, and songwriting hadn’t happened, I’m convinced they would have placed a much deeper stake in the ground.<\/p>\n

Hi Bob,<\/p>\n
I’m very glad you wrote about Mike’s book. I loved it! And surprise of surprises, I bought the audiobook, with Mike reading it himself. Is he Mr. Elocution? He is not. Is he Len Cariou or one of the premier audio book specialists? He is not. But his reading has so much charm and so much heart and so much down-to-earth honesty that I couldn’t wait to finish it. This is one where I highly recommend you buy the hardcover and pay a little extra to Audible.com and get the audio version as well.<\/p>\n
My favorite parts? The story of “Boys of Summer” and his bewilderment at the way Don came up with the lyrics. The story of how he almost sold his house and at the last minute went against his business manager’s advice and kept it. And, of course, his dedication to being a family man in the maelstrom that is the rock and roll life.<\/p>\n
Not a Heartbreaker…. this book is a Heartwarmer.<\/p>\n
Best,<\/p>\n

Bob, investigate the targeting changes made by meta this spring. \u00a0Small venues can no longer do detailed targeting to get their show adds in front of people who like specific bands. \u00a0All detailed targeting has been rolled up into very broad categories like \u201cIndie Music\u201d and \u201cMetal Music\u201d. \u00a0Unlike a jewelry store or a brand of clothing, venues need to NOT get the word out to the 500,000-1,000,000 people in their area. \u00a0They need to get the add in front of the 20-40,000 people who like particular band and similar bands. \u00a0I could go on for days about how this is killing us. \u00a0Please look into it and make some noise.<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n
