Sunday, April 22, 2007Do You Feel Like He Does?
Peter Frampton will be 57 next Sunday, and while he's not a child of the 80s per se, he's certainly an idol of the decade. His 1976 opus Frampton Comes Alive was the standard bearer of all concert albums to come afterward.
His "talking guitar" -- the centerpiece of the 14-minute-long "Do You Feel Like We Do" -- has been celebrated on episodes of the Simpsons and Family Guy. "Baby, I Love Your Way" was a cruel barb in the movie "Reality Bites." Wow. What else does the guy have to live for now?
Though born British, Frampton became a U.S. citizen after the Sept. 11 attacks and campaigned for John Kerry in the last presidential election.
