Tough **** indeed brother, and you weren't the only one! You can bet
your ass that it was due to the presidential election. You wouldn't
believe the security at the first Chicago show, (Obama's last pre-

was heavily reinforced by Chicago PD. Second Chicago gig was way more
relaxed, with Rosemont PD auxiliaries instead.
You were missed, Maurice asked if you were around in Chicago as he
hadn't seen you in Wilkes-Barre.
See you in Oslo then :) ?
