Beck has hired international pin ball champion Ralph McGinstry as his new tour manager, which explains the non-linear, nonsensical and slightly illogical route on his 2008 summer tour. Beck starts out with a few dates in continental Europe, hops to England then goes back to France, Spain and Portugal. Next he does the Indiana Jones across the Atlantic, flies right over our fucking heads and lands in San Fran. Then he's up in Oregon, Seattle and back down to Los Angeles. Finally he discovers the Ark in Austin and nobody's face got melted off. Sucks for the East Coast fans but maybe some frozen excrement will land in your yard when Beck flushes the toilet at thirty thousand feet.

Beck always struck me as an artist with a huge ego. Proverbial finger, meet proverbial eye...so here's a video of Jeff Beck just to piss off Beck.
