I wouldn’t call them a “hippie collective”. More like an actor taking on a role, with a band of hired musicians. Read interviews with the guy about how he came up with the “concept” of the band.
I liked that tune when I heard it, “Home”, but I can’t stomach it or anything else from this guy now that I know that it is just a wise marketing decision that he made.
you “know” that? You’re talking pure nonsense. I know “this guy” a lot better than you do, Admiral.
Are you related to him, Mr. Ebert? If so, then you must be biased. If not, then you are a boob.
Read an interview from him, they are not hard to find, about how he came up with the concept of the band.
He is open about it, that is cool, just not my cup of tea.
