Confessions of a Fanboy

There are only two words needed to be said about this show in C-bus:  “Dear Chicago.”

Oh.  My.  God.

That “Dear Chicago” didn’t make an album proper is one of the five worst decisions of the past decade.  Unforgivable.  That is one of the most devastating, heartbreaking, perfect songs imaginable.  I’d have shat myself, perhaps literally.  We may have had a Code Brown in C-bus, which is fitting if you ask me.  I’m kidding, Columbus.

Even though he didn’t have to play anything else, he did.  “La Cienga Just Smiled” and “Dear Chicago” might be in my Top 5.  For both of them to be played is beyond my ability to comprehend.  “Note To Self: Don’t Die” is a nice throw in as well.  This is a staggering set list.
