For that I should like them at least a little, and might be willing to consider it, having read this posting.<br /><br />As to Creed, I love his Office-outtake explanation of how he got from the Grass Roots to The Office (he says he fell asleep in a tour van in the 60s and woke up in Scranton). Creed was in the third (out of five, I think) Grass Roots lineups, which was the lineup that started having the big hits (eg, Live For Today and Midnight Confessions). He still performs -- he played at McCabe's in the spring.

Then it kind of collapses as it stumbles along, TR falls asleep on the phase button, and the band starts wandering in and out of the room. A nice bridge would have turned it into a real song.Fazenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-28104287292596606242010-11-18T00:56:46.338-05:002010-11-18T00:56:46.338-05:00Hey, at least he was lucky enough to have a music ...Hey, at least he was lucky enough to have a music career (I dig Foghat) and then some acting. I'm sure he's got gold records hanging on his wall. That's more than we can say for most of us who tried and got zinc.FD13NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964671671960423199noreply@blogger.com
