Al Stewart comes to Bridgewater on July 13
Al Stewart at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater on 13 July 2008
Yes, he did Time Passages, Angry Bird, Antarctica, A child's view of the Eisenhower years, ...
Musician jokes, including the banjo player and the Lamborghini.
Stewart also recounted a "rock star" anecdote, about his (unsuccessful) attempt to get a box of rice crispies for breakfast in Kentucky shortly after Stewart had learned Year of the Cat had broken the top ten. It was after 11am, and he couldn't get the crispies, even for $100. He mentioned Nicholson and a possible rock star response of throwing a tv out the window.
Stewart mentioned that Antarctica was really about a cold woman who wouldn't sleep with him. He did give a historical preface about Amundsen, Scott, and Shackelford (the latter being characterized as the punk rocker type who put on an overcoat and galoshes and set out). Roald Amundsen reached the South Pole Dec. 14, 1911 (not 1903), 35 days before Robert F. Scott (who Stewart characterized as a misfit who was being punished for running into a commercial ship)
"Angry Bird" is about anarchists, wobblies, and the like.

And, the next week Al Stewart is in California:
