John Kay, you're an asshole...

Some time back, Radio Hauraki announced that John Kay & Steppenwolf would be touring New Zealand. I was mildly interested I must admit, but decided against investing in tickets for a number of reasons. The Auckland concert was going to be mid week & its a hassle organising time off. The main reason I decided not to eventually was that John Kay was the only original Steppenwolf member to be touring, the rest being what ever session Muso's he could round up at the time. I would have been more interested in going to Crosby Stills & Nash, but for some reason decided not to chase that one either. At least they had a legitimate reason to postpone their tour. Crosby was suffering complications induced by his recent kidney transplant. Thats a fair reason. John Kay didnt give a reason for opting out of his tour, at least that we know of. Nobody in NZ has been able to contact him or his management company to find out. Today, the news has come out that he is due to play a big gig in Canada round about the time he was supposed to be here. Dollars obviously speak louder than loyalty to fans.

Kiwi's unite ! Cash your tickets in. This tired egocentric hasbeen is more interested in money than keeping promises to fans.. John Kay, take your magic carpet & give it to the pusher. I'm certain that he will insert it far enough up your geriatric asshole to be really uncomfortable.. Meanwhile, I'm born to be wild..
