Yes i totally agree!
I'll admit.... the only reason i went to see Chris Rea yesterday (Wed) was because i wanted to see REM in London but i was asked to work.... he was a rebound and i found a cheap ticket on ebay!
But man did i like that! There was not a single song in his set i didn't like, you know it's special!
And i've found out so much about him since then, he's from England (good), he's from the North of England (good), he's a great musician (good), he's got great rock songs (very good!) and he loves motorsport (excellent!)
oh and he's also collaborated with Elton (brilliant!) ......
Is there anything this guy hasn't done......? Oh except driven a Ferrari
? has he actually done that yet?
