When most high profile live performances nowadays are karaoke or lip synching??
Yeah, I’ll continue using this defense.
Maybe I've been listening to my kid's school bands for too long.
But, shit, I'd rather listen to people trying to play an instrument, even poorly, than a fucking prerecorded backing track.

47It sounded so much like soundtrack to a scene with a 'romantic' dinner in an obnoxiously expensive New You restaurant and a follow-up love scene from 'Naked Gun' I'm not sure whether fart sounds were really there or I was making them.

49Did I enjoy listening to the album? Yes.
Do I think he expressed what he wanted to with his trumpet playing? Mostly yes.
Were the arrangements interesting? Yes.
Is there a cool cover of Maggot Brain, and is there a passable cover of Wichita Lineman with Nick Cave? Yes.
Would I pay to see his band if they came through town? Probably not.
