I went with my brother last Thrusday night to see them at a small venue here in Minneapolis...First Avenue.  My brother is a big fan of them so I was sort of doing him a favor although I enjoyed the show.  It was a short show at just over an hour but if was fun watching them play some of the old stuff.  I had to wonder if it gets a bit tiresome for the guys to have to play some of those songs night after night through all the years.  They seemed to be enjoying themselves from what I could tell.

How old are the guys now?  I'm guessing early 50s.  Rick was just as zany as ever.  I thought Bunney (sp) looked like he's changed the least over the years. 

On the way to the show we listened to the new cd and although I wasn't familiar with any of it I could imagine a few of the songs growing on me.  The cd also comes with a dvd which has some older video of the band which some may find interesting.
