   Very cool Craig.  I am surprised about all the negatives (excpet for   
   Robin Zander - I am assuming when you said Cheap Trick said no you   
   meant all but Rick; who signed for you).  I am surprised to hear about   
   Ann and Nancy,  Neal is always nice so I hear... Journey has been kind   
   every time I've seen them.   
      
   I am pretty surprised to hear about the police and threats from hotel.   
   My guess is they were either rogue (protecting their customers) or   
   were asked to by managers etc.   
      
   Not familiar with Lawler (wrestler?)... but congrats.
