Soft Rock and a Hard Place

The tour has begun. As if anyone in the now slightly notorious Clay Nation doesn't know !

and already people are worrying........

about parts of the set list

about the whole set list

about the disorganization and disrespect some viewers showed in Frisco

about him clutching himself, well, a little too near... uh... the unmentionables

about.............

what for?

seems the soft rock and hard place title he suggested may have more meaning than he thought

The Clay we came to know and love is the same one we came to know and love all of 4 years ago. Albeit a bit heavier, with a better hairdo, a few more dollars in his pocket, and two dogs with an extra one named Bixby.

or maybe not

meaning Bixby: that may be another rumor, in this fan club who can tell for sure?

But there's one thing we can be sure of, and that Clay has not changed. And that means he's here to please. To have a good time and to give us the best show he's capable of. With every one of his senses and scruples intact, alive and well and playing in Houston tonight.

My opinion of his first concert: I got up out of the chair, found the bottle of vodka that had been gathering dust for about 10 years, and I toasted him. And I toasted his latest effort.

Clay is back. And he's already doing the best he can for me.

What more could I wish for from him?

This brings to mind things that
I had tried to put out of my
mind. What some (so called) fans
expect of Clay. I have some pretty
strong feelings about this and
would need a blog of my own to
express these feelings and not
intrude on your great site, and
get you in trouble with nasty
comments.
Just love your way with words.

Rose, there's absolutely no point in trying to change people if they don't know that a change would make them nicer to know. Remember what Robbie Burns said " O wad some Power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as ithers see us ! " Some people simply don't know how to let other people be, and that's the way it is, and forever shall be. It was as much so in Burns' day, and it continues on into ours. It should tell us something profound about the human condition, don't you think?

But you know you can start your own blog if you wish. I'll come and applaud.
