| Why does he seem to do more overseas shows than the USA?? I'm afraid he'll never come through Texas so I can see him! |

you already got a song, you can't have it all!
Didn't Jeff toured in the US a couple of month ago?

| Get him some good gigs and maybe he'll come there. He used to live in Austin and his friend Helen is from there. Did you read the Austin Diary? His record company Rough Trade is in England and it arranges some of his tours. |

Didn't I read/see/hear an interview where Jeff said that it made more financial sense to make £££s and €€€s rather than $$$s because of the way the economies is and where the geographical concentrations of his fans?
That European tours were the ones funding the US tours, or something along those lines. |

I guess it's easier in the UK which is small but has lots of people - there are a lot of big cities which are only a couple of hours apart.
And bands often become big here quickly because the media is very centralised compared to the US.
