things can only get better...

Last night I saw Howard Jones in concert with my friends Lisa and Rachel, who knew his material a little better than I do and subsequently stalked him after the concert.

The show was at this performing arts center in midtown usually reserved for French avant-garde ballet and interpretive dance, and was a low key gig with a keyboard and guitar. No keytars, no drum machines. Just Howard and a back-up guitar player and way way too much explanatory monologues on what songs like "Life in One Day" are about. Glad someone finally cleared that mystery up for me.

I always thought that Howard and Melissa Etheridge were the same person...

But after last night's show, I am pretty sure that Howard is the long lost brother of John Lithgow...
