Wow, that's some paranoia. Asking a friend's 17 year old daughter to come back stage was actually pretty cool. Your idea that it was for sex is a bit twisted.
 

My friends went to the concert. They took their daughter too. She's 17. A stage hand approached her at her seat to see if she wanted to "party with Amos Lee back stage". Who knows the truth about the "stage hand", etc. Her parents told her not to do it. They probably spoiled a really "cool" time for her I guess. That's rock and roll.

A FRIEND'S 17-year-old daughter? What kind of friend asks if they can basically commit statutory rape? If you think back to the history of  rock-and-roll their's basically a sub-genre of songs written about 17-year-olds. I've often wondered why that's the preferred age for girl characters in pop/rock songs.

I think we should all be deeeeply offended by his race and sexual preferences... Oh, wait- I'd have to be offended by EVERYBODY in the "music business". Long list of all relevant music evaluation criteria is as follows:

1. Does it make you want to turn it up?
2.

I'm getting a bit of a Dave Edmunds vibe.

Saw him in concert this summer.  A stage hand was sent into the audience (supposedly by Amos) and invited a friend's 17 year old daughter backstage after the concert.  She asked her parents (who were sitting rearby), who counseled against it.  Ah, rock n' roll, er, folk.  Calexico opened and was great.  Amos was okay.

Not a fan of white boy jive, a genre hilighting such talents as Jason Mraz and John Mayer. Good lookin' boys who play guitar and steal all the best women. And what are their intentions with these women? Not pure I can assure you.
So, to sum up: my tastes here are entirely subjective.

Agreed! We saw him perform live here in DC last year and he was great. Already have tickets again for this summer. {#Clap}

Edit, well, not too bad. Has a nice dylanesque feel to it.

 
...but without the annoying whiny voice. At least yer man Amos can sing, with a strong voice. Fine lyrics too. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

RP comes on line w/Amos Lee - cool. Sounds great right before "Subterranean Homesick Blues," awesome segue, Bill.
