Gee, I first saw DD last year and don't remember seeing Bill, TFJ, or
Ivan in the crowd ;) I gotta laugh - you guys *nailed* the DD
experience I had! Everything they say is true . . . yikes.
Still, if you haven't seen DD before, you owe it to yourself to check
him out. As much as I tip my hat to him for what he's done (and what
he can still do), I think the highlight of the show for me was
Dusty's performance - pretty awesome stuff.
He's coming around here again in May, and yeah, I'll go to the
show . . . but I'm not expecting anything new.
