Beck has alway's reminded me of the old TV western...Have Gun Will Travel. Great but at the end of thr day just another gunslinger....one of my favorite gunslingers by the way Quote

Chicago Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I'm a big follower of Jeff Beck and this story seems inaccurate. I frequently go to the the various Jeff Beck sites including his official site and there's no mention of any of this. Maybe if a link to the story is provided it'd be more believable. Arsessociated Press??? Quote
Reggie29 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Methinks someone is having a lend of us! However, stranger things have happened. I'm filing it under "I'll believe it when the tickets go on sale". Quote
SteveAJones Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 If this as already been posted, I apologize. Looks promising. from Arsessociated Press Almost funny...and completely untrue. Quote
ledded1 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 The night could be called Becks Bolero Quote
bonzo1026 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 The night could be called Becks Bolero Or "wind up". Totally false. Quote
Aquamarine Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I did like the bit about the shelters for cats and dogs though. Quote
Tuscanskin Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 I got this off of the Jeff Beck site. I guess it was a joke. Sorry. Jeff has been nominated for the 2009 R & R Hall of Fame, has a DVD of his Ronnie Scott's 2007 shows coming out in January and is touring some in 2009. Sorry if this turns out to be a joke. I thought the AP was a typo. Quote
