Here's a thought

What if we praised Lou for coming back from brain surgery and still trying to live his life doing the thing he loves most which is playing live for you people. So it's not perfect, big deal. He's giving everything he's got. The man's been through hell, as a devoted fan, I will cut him a break and not put him down for still trying even though he can't do the show he once could. It's a shame he probably has to read bad reviews, and hear all the crappy things people say. Like he hasn't been through enough already.
As for Steve Augeri, I will agree that he is probably the best cover musician/singer out there. But then again, Gowen is giving him a good run for his money. His immitation of Dennis DeYoung is almost as perfect as Augeri's immitation of Steve Perry.
