I saw Tom perform live at the Michigan state fair back in the late 1970s. I've never seen a crowd (all women, except for my brother, a friend and myself) in such a state of sexual frenzy. No male audience I've ever seen, even at, say, strip clubs, gay bars, bachelor parties, whatever, comes close to the heat those ladies were in. Ever since those women have formed my image of maenads and bacchantes, the female followers of Bacchus who would tear men to pieces.

Tom, by the way, despite singing all of his old hits, escaped with only minor cuts and bruises, and countless pairs of underwear with phone numbers written in them. Of course, he was an old pro at that game...!

PS---Where are the results of M Blowhards critics be damned movie poll? I thought voting shut down over a week ago. Transparency in the process, man! A paper trail. Otherwise 2 blowhards is just a banana republic! (Of course, perhaps, it is exactly a banana republic....)
