i'm not about to put words in his mouth, but i remember him saying that he
REALLY likes to keep low-key in the place of his home. which is
understandable. i think his words were something to the effect of not
having people stop him in the street all the time after they saw him at a
gig the past weekend...
maybe not great for people in Chicago, but the man has to do things the way
he feels most comfortable.

I see this point well, and I agree that he should hop on those European
gigs to make money, but it would just be nice if he showed a stronger
desire to give something back to someone near to his origins. I regret
missing the Wizard gig at the start of the month, but in the end I'm glad I
worked harder to get to that Plus 8 party on 10/28 because time and again
I've seen Richie pour his heart into Detroit with no signs of letting
up. Jeff played for the first time in 10 years in the city that started
him? And that was supposed to excite us? I live in Chicago and I take it
Jeff lives here, too, but I haven't seen him give us a thing, not even one
performance, and there are plenty of places for him to play besides a
dirtylittlerave. ;)
I love his music and think he's a wonderful and innovative artist, but I
just wish he played around here more often, both to see him and for the
statement that performing in your home town or town-of-residence makes.
DEMF wish list -- agree with that Stewart Walker idea and would love to see
DJ Ferenc/I-F -- I look forward to the "TBA". Should be a fun time! I've
only seen Kooky once (at the Plus 8 party), but it was phenomenal -- I'm
psyched for a repeat.
Cheers,
Dave

The way I see it is... most promoters in the US dont want to pay that much
for Mills.. in Europe... its no problem. Why on earth would he want to
come to the US to make less then he can in Europe, but then again.. its
not
about the money.. its about the music.. right?
