he is no stand up comedian, and as much as i am bored of the introductions, and jokes, it is as guy just said in reply to a question, the shows are not meant for "get-a-lifers" (that last one is my translation of what he said)
i mean, there are not too many who are funny and different every night, leo kottke comes to mind but again, only very few...come on folks, i want him to play brilliant guitar, not make funny jokes.
