First amendment defense artistic expression

The show at the greensboro coliseum will be may 2, according to the band web site. A first amendment defense of artistic expression can likely be brought in response to a state claim of right of publicity. All of this is good because there is no vocalist working today that is more plain than the phoenix-bred bentley. The odor of creative bankruptcy lingers through the entire baker dozen of yawningly mediocre new songs, some of which hover perilously close to self-caricature. For what we have here is largely uplifting, sweet even, and the sound of a man capturing both greatness and a feeling of youthful exuberance.
