when he played in brooklyn a few years back there was a nice size turnout
for the night, at least by new york standards. maybe in europe he gets
mobbed and followed by paparazzi. but what the hell, I-f can choose to play
where and when he wants without owing me an explanation.
but i've got to say, visa issues wouldn't help. i was planning to return to
new york for a visit in may - but the visa process isn't worth the hassle -
i have to get a copy of any police record, be fingerprinted and
photographed, attend at interview, show all passports i've ever held, fill
out a form listing all mititary training, any experience with welding,
firearms, explosives etc., and the list continues. and when i arrive at LAX
there is no guaraantee i'll be let in - they'll put me back on the plane if
i have an unpaid parking fine in australia.

How many times would you fly (in this case) from Holland to the States, to
gigs where no one came to?
You'd get sick of it in the end, and would probably accept gigs on the
basis
that they are at least gonna be worth your while....
It's not exactly a new thing (decent artists bombing in the US) anyway.

yeah but ferenc might think that's too much bother for the return he
gets so would rather put that effort elsewhere.
anyway you americans burn disco records in your stadiums...that irks us
disco loving europeans. :) (and there's the detroit on-topicness too)
