It is a shame they couldn't include Michael.

It's insulting to see who they replaced him with, too.

Insulting to whom?

In concert, Anthony sounded out of tune more often than not (based on my attendance and numerous bootlegs). Do you know how hard it is to sound out of tune on a bass? Not to mention, tuning a bass on the fly is a snap. Yeah, I know all about Eddie's eccentricities about tuning, but hell, even a bass player in a rock'n'roll band should be able to accommodate.

Then again, I don't consider Bill Wyman quitting the Stones any real loss either.

Reminds me of the time the the Talking Heads rented the local performing arts center here for 3 weeks of rehearsal, then kicked of their Stop Making Sense tour here.

I missed it, of course!
