They were always a B+ band in my personal roster, but I sprang for tickets to their Vegas show and was very impressed. All three guys seemed totally on their game and energized. Much has been made of their re-working of some of their classics, but I thought the changes were welcome, and we're not talking Dylan-like overhauls here. Short of offering up a half dozen great new songs I can't really see how they could have been better.
I'm told by a friend who was at both Vegas and LA that Vegas was better so maybe there has been some variablity in their performances, but compared to most legacy acts I've seen this was way above the norm.
Voters and one pollworker reported that an adjacent location had not opened as of about 8:10. There was general confusion at my polling place (Laurel Canyon and Moorpark St.), but everyone was patient and good humored. Location uses paper ballots.
Just an FYI re King's comment on Mike Schmidt. At least through AA he WAS a shortstop. I fondly recall watching him play a season at short with the Reading Phillies in about 1971. Interestingly, the slugger on that team was Andre Thornton.
But thanks again for the Updike story/link.
