I dunno... "Joanna" and "Jump" were both big when I was 13, so it's possible they're targeting me.

Well, that answers my question. Thanks. :) I was 7, and definitely fall in that target group. But can there really be enough people to finance a concert?

I'm guessing that most VH fans would at least tolerate Kool, as long as, as was previously mentioned, "Cherish" is avoided.

I can't bring that tune to mind. It must be awful. :)

I'll let you Google it, but I refuse to provide a link.

one of the worst lyrics ever:  "Cherish the love we have.." 

makes me cringe every time.

No need to search for it. Those lyrics sent it rushing in like a tidal wave of bad melodies. Cherish the life we live, indeed.

"San Jose's own..." Redbone, "Come & Get yo' 'Trina"
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Might be a 'trina, but, man, does it groove!

so .. when The Bitch came back and he said he was stone cold sober (as a matter of fact). How long did that last?

Leadoff BOS (and my request too!).
Kool & Gang opening for Van Halen this year: http://promo.livenation.com/vanhalen/
I remarked on a friend's FB page that that would be akin to LeAnn Rimes opening for Metallica. Completely inappropriate. Promoters milking it.
Could be interesting as long as they stick with the funk and avoid marshmallow like "Joanna" and "Cherish"

I'm just wondering what sort of demographic (aside from oddballs like us) would actually enjoy seeing both of those bands on the same stage on the same night.

I think it would be a good show.  Why not?  I can find stuff to like from both bands.  It's unusual, but it's like skipping around the radio dial.  I listen to both the Bone AND  98.1 KISS. Don't we all?

confession:  the flutter in the Diamond Dogs production has always annoyed me
I avoid KFOG at all times now except AL's show. KISS 98.1 usually good and I must be entering old fogeydom tuning in a lot to 70's on 7 on Sirius XM. A decent dose of alt to on 105 and alt on XM too.

BOS, um, Bowie, I guess.  Maybe the Dan.  I don't know.  But if I were runnin' the show, this is not at all what 1974 would sound like.

Oddballs like me. 
Anyone remember when K&tG did a free lunchtime show in Justin Herman Plaza about 10 or 15 yrs ago?

I have a faint memory of seeing them at the Embarcadero in that time frame - I think?
