Hi y’all:
What is UP wit’ our ol’ friends at Rhino, anyway?
Just seeing the be-candy caned logo below (still avec restricted trademark, natch) unleashed a rather severe Tremor in The Force, at least where I live and breathe.
Can you IMAGINE—“An Evening with….”, playing in multiplexes nationwide for two nights this December, devoted to Chicago’s interpretations of venerable Seasonal Hymns and Xmas Carols, plus Their Greatest Hits? With the castrati vocalizations of a near-septuagenarian Peter Cetera wafting across the ether….or do they constitute THEIR OWN ether by now?!
And never in the annals of my beloved Sludge did I imagine that I would see an utterly non-ironic pop musical deployment of the Roman Numeral for THIRTY-THREE! LOL
Have they no shame? Well, when you’ve released an unlistenable 4LP set with multiple posters in a coffee table box as your (first) live album, circa 1971, I think we know the answer.
By the by, I thought I might require an injection of insulin when I stumbled across the punning title of their latest Xmas album (O Christmas Three). Does this not imply that TWO Holiday-themed Chicago collections have preceded the current product?
Praise the Lord, fine, but please, Please, PUH-LEEZE pass the ammunition!
Warmest Season’s Greetings to all from….
– Tom Kipp
