Two non-singles off their first two LPs – the anti-Reagan “Flame of the West” from Steeltown and the incredibly enveloping “The Storm” from “The Crossing” – remain my favorite songs from the band. But “Wonderland” is right up there.

I saw them live in a small club called the Bayou in Washington D.C. I still have never seen a more powerful live show. Adamson and the rest of the band weren't particularly charismatic, but their sound in person was amazing.

Isn't he the guy who does the online column where he talks about how fucked up the music industry is?

No man who gets nostalgic for bad 1980's arena-rock bands should be telling us what's wrong with the music biz.

I wanna play ahead and post the You Tube link to the "Fool's Game" video, but I'll restrain myself. Not just any Michael Bolton, but early 80's rocker Michael Bolton.
