Tribute band show with Police tribute band...I'm the judge

[giovanni]

Hey ya' all...
I'm starting a new adventure on tv; I will be one of the three judges on a tv show called Tribute Band Show, a sort of contest between tibutes of great bands of the '80s and '90s.
The show starts tonight, with Pearl Jam vs Nirvana; even if I am not a big 'fan' of tribute bands, I have to admit that every now and then I go and see some U2 or Police tributes. The author of the show called me to know if I wanted to take part of the show for 10 weeks (cool, uh), every Monday night, and of course I said YES! He wanted me for my knowledge of those two decades of music and for being a musician myself, that means I can judge their performance on several corners.
The Police Academy is one the of bands that will take part of the show, and to judge them will be very hard on my side...we will probably study something different about my role for that day.
Anyway, it will be fun.
You can watch it on line, if you are curious about...how I look today (hihihihi)! At 10,30pm, (Italian time)

many congrats, sounds very cool indeed............... why so unsure about the Police Academy? surely it'd be a great chance to promote your book!

Giovanni,

This is very cool! You seem to be living life exactly on your own terms. Writing books and magazine articles, meeting rock stars, being on TV as a judge. How did you come about this? What brought you initially into the rock world? Do you ever travel or are you primarily in Italy?

Great Gio, I just watch the promo at the streaming signal, "The Police" picture was insert on it... What will be your considerations to judge positive a tribute band?
