TOAST: The Ultimate Bread Experience is coming to the Cannon Center on October 30. Normally I don’t blog about events that far in advance, but there’s a story about this one.
“I have never, ever in my life heard of a band called Bread,” I thought when I saw the show advertised on the center’s billboard. “Bands like the Beatles and the Stones and Zeppelin have tribute bands. Big names.”
I came to the conclusion that TOAST must be a tribute to a band that never existed. “That’s absolutely brilliant,” I thought.
But a visit to Wikipedia proved me wrong. Bread was a soft rock band active in the 1970s. Their biggest hit was “Baby I’m-a Want You,” which I kinda vaguely remember.
Is anyone going to this show?
