There is no place like home. It is always exciting to go on vacation.....to get away from everyday life.....see a new exciting place for the first time.... But it always feels good to return to familiar surroundings. Broken Teeth just completed a 30 day USA tour.....with a friday night show in El Paso....before Saturday's performance at Redrum in Austin. In my opinion, bands get better on the road..... and Saturday night Broken Teeth proved my point. This band never disappoints. They consistently put on a good rock and roll show. Of all the times I have seen Broken Teeth.....this show ranks near the top...if not the best outing The crowd was great....enthusiastic, loud, proud, etc.. Jason looks exactly the same as he did in 1994. And he proves my next point. Rock and Roll keeps you young. How many 63 year-olds are in as good of shape as Mick Jagger? Not many 57 year-olds can keep up with Ted Nugent. Phil Mogg looks like a Golden Glove contender at age 58. Paul Rodgers is in his mid 50's and could pass for 35...easy. Ronnie James Dio, John Waite, Rudolph Schenker....and the list goes on and on. of course, it helps to avoid drugs and alcohol. apparently nobody informed Vince Neil of that fact....or Jani Lane...or Steven Adler....and that list goes on and on. Bobby Blotzer. Just kidding.....JUST KIDDING. Austin is a great place to come home to....I think sometimes people who live here take it for granted...those people need to move away for awhile. john
