I hate/love the fact that Dr. Suess has recently lost so much weight that allies hardly recognize him at gigs. He looks great! Dr's Suess' pants are loose, but I'm wound up tightly. Why? The Fat Guy's Club has lost a charter member, and it's so stressful that I'm tempted to revert to eating melted ice cream out of the garbage. One day a time, right?
Steve's not the only musician who's lost weight. Have you seen Adele lately? Amazing! Rumor has it the singer/songwriter lost over 100 pounds on a plant based diet. No meat? The world is being turned upside down like this pineapple cake. Yum!
I just hope it's not the stress of recording the new album that is causing Steve to waste away. The new album is scheduled for release mid-September, and with such a tight deadline coupled with Steve Nelson's stringent drill sergeant standards, it's no wonder his metabolism is revved up. Or maybe it's something else. Ask him here if you'd like to find out. Personally, I'm not going to say "I'll start my diet tomorrow" until tomorrow so I'd rather not know.
Will he gain it back in September, when the new album is finally done? Probably not. I've heard several tracks now and the accolades alone should keep our boy amped up for awhile. It's really good. I wish I could share more but I'll lose my insider status if I blab. Say "Hi" in the comments section. We miss our allies!
