<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Do you think Virgil makes serious cash? I believe you're wrong if so. The work he does really does not bring in a lot of $$. Planet X isn't selling out large forums...geez, they had maybe 150 people at the opening night of the MoonBabies Tour at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood and the same on the closing night, w/maybe 30 people for the second set. That's just sad! CAB plays small venues like the Potato with about 100 people max. Where's he making all the cash? Planet X could try to write more commercially or listener friendly material. The title cut, "MoonBabies" came close. They need to tap into the RUSH/ Metalica crowd and ease into their own style if they want to sell CD's. If they want to stay in the cutting edge progressive rock/ fusion mainstream, there just ain't much $$ there. If I'm off base let me know.
