Cold Roses was one of those albums I kept meaning to pick up, but I never did. I saw him and the Cardinals on tour in the spring of '05 the same weekend I was in Philadelphia to see U2. He was really drunk, and the crowd was annoying, and instead of just ignoring the people screaming for songs off of Rock N Roll, he got into arguments. Eventually he stormed off the stage. I left before that, though, around the time people started throwing things at him. I gave up on him for awhile after that, but I hear he's sobered up, and I've heard some good concert clips fairly recently, so I'm going to give him another shot.
I haven't held out for an official release yet this year, so I'm trying my best to wait for Wilco. I figure if I've made it this far, I can wait one more week!
