What an amazing performer Jack Wagner is. His voice gets better with age. He is very talented He always has a huge crowd at the Wolf Den. I enjoy his concerts every year.

Damn, I wish I was closer to CT. Not out of an abiding love of Jack Wagner's music (no, that's not me you'd have heard somewhere in the audience screaming "Sing 'Make Me Believe It,' Frisco!!"), but simply to bathe in the PopDose-iness of it all.

God speed, gents. God speed.

And there's the crucial difference. The fact that Marx still has fans is a matter of course, but I think Wagner filling a theater is much more interesting.

Well, let's see. Both are artists who are no longer at the top of the charts and who are probably not acquiring many new fans because of their music. Both were successful in the '80s. Both have had nine of their songs reach the Top 10. (Oh, wait.)

Wait...are you comparing Jack Wagner to Richard Marx? I don't think that's what you meant to do...

If that's so fascinating to you, why do you mock me whenever I go to see Richard Marx?

ROFLOL...I know every word of this song and yet had no idea it was Jack Wagner. Thanks for the post and have fun at the concert!

It isn't so much that I'm still "such a fan" as I just thought it would be interesting to do a feature on Wagner's fans -- and the idea that just because most of us have forgotten an artist, that doesn't mean they've gone away. I think that's pretty fascinating.

Wow, I'd love to go, as this (JW) is so my era, oh and I'd like to meet up with Jeff, Jason and Michael too. But darn the luck, flying 3K miles to see JW, just didn't seem that appealing to others in my household. Hopefully Jeff, Jason and Michael tweet about it and take pics! Can't wait.

I mentioned it once before, but Jack Wagner did a very brief appearance on our work "campus" and sang a "All I Need" (Debbie/Debra Gibson came too!). He's still handsome, can sing and has a great sense of humor. That being said, it's a bit odd that Jeff is such a fan. I'm willing to guess that there will be a fair amount of late 30's- 40-something women hanging about. Uhm, so have fun!

That's even better than Steed's Shamus M'Cool switcheroo a few weeks back.

Glad I could make your day. I'm probably not the first to fall into that trap, just the first who fessed up to it. Hey, just as long as my own link works, it's cool :&)

If you're a fan of AOR West Coast Pop Rock, then you shouldn't judge this until you give it a listen. Wagner made some very well produced CD's in the 80's with some hall-of-fame session cats from that era. I think this will be worth the 1 hour drive to do a little gambling and catch the free show.

I know. The terms Jack Wagner and rock have all the cohesion of the terms ice cream and suppository, but hey. I hope they have a good time... And should the Hagen Daaz vendor cross their paths, may they keep 'em clenched.

Rock with Jack Wagner? Don't you mean sway to-and-fro to the sounds of office-lite contemporary pop?

I kid, I kid. Jack's aiight. He seems like a nice enough guy, and he isn't screaming at me what his politics are. What more could I ask?

I'll just wait for Jack & Heather to pop into one of the half-dozen local Starbucks. (Yes, they live in my town, too.)

Wow, thanks for this alert. Free concert heavy on the 80's pop with a bunch of cougars on the prowl? I am there!!

God bless you, Pico. We put that up at least six months ago, and have been waiting since then for someone to find it. You have officially made our Friday!

I've read that Wagner (50 this year) is a scratch golfer--better than hanging out in a recording studio all day--and a nice guy with a self-deprecating streak. And he and MELROSE PLACE co-star Heather Locklear are engaged, as she goes from hard rock to 80s oldies in her choice of men. No one be hatin' on Frisco Jones.
