I suspect that the "blues on a Bel Air golf course" remark was Lubin's. It's snarky cynicism has his fingerprints all over it!

Myself and a friend has seen Jack over a few years now at the Mohegan Sun. I travel 5 hours from Pennsylvania every year to see him. We can't wait for the next show. He always puts on such an awesome show. We also have followed him to Pittsburgh to play golf as well as concerts and on Broadway in New York. We love you Jack!!

I sense the beginnings of a Popdose night out forming. After the show, we could all hole up at the Giles compound and wait for the ATF to arrive ...

The tweets that Jeff and Jason sent out from this show were hilarious -- I was at the beach, getting marvelously loaded, keeping track of the goings on via Twitter. Thanks for the tweetin' that night, guys, and thanks to Jeff for a fine article.

Jeff,

Fantastic article!

Upon finishing reading it, I found myself disappointed that you didn't continue on for several more paragraphs. It was a great, balanced piece that was at times complimentary and at others, somewhat critical. I have not seen an article deal with Jack's music career probably in 20-25 years, and you provided insights that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

I, like you, was a fan of Jack's from his earliest beginnings on GH and I know exactly where you're coming from. You have written exactly what I was interested in reading and the only drawback is that you didn't get an hour for your interview..so many questions!

Great job!

Pescetto is Wagner's guitarist -- he's collaborated with him on his last two albums. Surprise!

Thanks for the article. Wagner made some excellent West Coast/AOR CD's in the 80's and has always been given a raw deal with the tastemakers/radio back in that era. It's impressive to hear the loyalty of the fans to show up with such a long gap between his music releases to hear him sing.

This was awesome from beginning to end. Thank you so much for doing it! I read the rough draft / interview you did with Jack at Wagner World and was impressed by the interesting, thoughtful questions. The finished article did not disappoint. You're an excellent writer -- smart, honest and very funny, yet still respectful (some of the same reasons I've been a JW fan all these years :) ). I will be checking out this site more often. :)

Jeff Pescetto?

Wait, we're going back?

Re: Letter From the Editor: Hitting the High Notes With Jack Wagner

Ted — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 11:08:56 -0000

Thanks for the article. Wagner has made some great albums if you are a fan of that vein of West Coast/AOR 80's music. It would be great if he recorded some more. The fact that the fans turn out after all the years in between the releases speaks volumes.

I would seriously consider traveling from Cincinnati to be a part of this, if you guys go again. I am not kidding.

Thanks for this article! Jack Wagner has made some excellent albums for that vein of pop/West Coast/AOR music and I wish he would record some more. It's nice to know the fans have stayed loyal after all these years and the long gaps between music releases.

Thanks for the article on Jack.
I've seen over 40 concerts and always enjoy them.
Jack's voice is amazing.
