Then Raymond put his hand on my shoulder and said: “You know what that was like? It was like being served an exquisite meal.” That one stuck with me. Partly because it’s a beautiful compliment. And partly because I think he was absolutely right.

When last we left our heroes, they had just begun their UK tour after a strange late-night sighting of a magical airborne tour bus, pulled by reindeer, with a redheaded, flowing-bearded Ginger Joe shouting out the names of the towns we were about to visit. And me? I had visions of writing to you from the road. Yeah, about that...

’Twas the night before touring, and all through the bus, Not a singer or bandmate was making a fuss. They all were exhausted from weeks of rehearsing, While the crew muttered softly, occasionally cursing.

Everything I know about show business, I learned from Bugs Bunny. You can quote me on this. Because in show biz, as in life, the monsters are always after you.

You know those “Meet the Team” posts? They can very quickly start sounding like LinkedIn. So I was looking at the people we’ve assembled for Metropolis and noticed something much more interesting.

Every phone call I make these days begins with a cheerful little voice telling me: “This call may be recorded for compliance and training purposes.” This is usually after I’ve already entered the rabbit-hole labyrinth of...

Victoria and I went to see Paul McCartney's photography exhibit in Brooklyn. Oddly enough, I spent almost as much time listening to the people as I did looking at the photographs. It reminded me of Metropolis fans are exactly the same.

This week I accidentally started a tiny war on the internet. My weapon? A three-second robot video.

Every marketing guru and music industry “insider” on Earth will tell you the same thing: “People want to see behind the scenes.” They want the real inside scoop. The day-to-day glamour. The backstage chaos. The rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. Well… I’m here to pull back the curtain. And honestly? It's a lot of spreadsheets.

Now… I feel a little bad for The Old Rep. Because at one point it was just *The Rep*. A perfectly good name. A perfectly good theatre. Everybody happy. Then one day somebody apparently said, “You know what we need? Another theatre.” And instead of coming up with a new name like civilized people, they built a new theatre and basically went: “Well… I guess the original one is the *old* one now.” Which feels a little harsh.

We’ve got a lot of one-nighters coming up this fall. Different city every day. Sounds glamorous… until you start doing the math. In a pre-production session, Colin, our brilliant sound engineer and production manager, casually dropped this: “Have you guys thought about a tour bus?” We said, “No… should we?” He said, “Think about it. Instead of checking into hotels, checking out of hotels, and still driving everywhere… you finish the show, get on the bus, go to sleep, and wake

My Dad used to say that. People from the south have a gift for colorful metaphors. Not as colorful as "Double dumbass on you" - and let me just pause here and say if you can tell me what this is from you'll win something free. I don't know what, but it'll be free and you can brag about it. Anyway, I woke up this morning thinking of clever ways to get into this story, but after "Double dumbass on you," damn, where was I?

And don’t think the irony is lost on me that I’m working with the machine to put together the biggest, baddest and most fun 20+ performances of Vox Lumiere Metropolis on our UK tour in September. You know, the Metropolis that features the biggest, baddest and most evilest machine of them all - Robot Maria!

Double exposure, not to be confused with “that double vision” from the 1978 release “Double Vision” by Foreigner sung by Lou Gramm (an amazing rock and roll voice that one), and definitely not to be confused with how the world may look on New Year’s morning after your attempt to drink away the memory of […]

Are you keeping it real? Yeah, I don’t even know if we say that anymore. I’d say “Frfr” or “Keep it 100”, but then I wouldn’t be keeping it real, because you’d know that I asked AI for a “2025 expression for keeping it real” and then I had to go look up “Frfr” only […]
