Where is Rod today?
I guess that the question has been asked many times before, but....where is Rod today? What is he doing? Is he still singing in a band?
It's sad if his talent is just wasted on....errrr....nothing!

Re: Where is Rod today?
There are appearantly 6 Rod Evens in California, he is probably one of them. Recent rumours says old Captain Beyond members keep in contact with him, but he has (for obvious reasons) not cared about Deep Purple or music business in general since the 1980 incident.
Let's hope one day he'll realize just how much todays DP fans think of him.

Re: Where is Rod today?
Maybe a communique to one or more of the people allegedly in recent contact with him from some people here to ask them if they'd let him (Evans) know that the Deep Purple fans (at least) bear him no malice and that we'd just love to have the opportunity to let him know the esteem he's generally held in by those fans & to thank him for his wonderful contribution(s) to Deep Purple's origin(s) & history will break the ice?

I suspect you may have tried Hartmut???
I don't see us getting any further than he has,and I think he's in the southern CA area,but I'm not exactly certain...neither here nor there,as he can be contacted by email...
Still a persuit worth venturing,till something turns up...I wonder if he knows of the bootleg exposure of late???

Re: Where is Rod today?
I don't know if this is new info but I did a google on Rod and it led me to a Wikipedia entry. It says he was arrested for DUI in 2004?? I wonder if he could be tracked down from the incident report or something? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Evans

Where do you get your *information* from?
Perhaps from a taste of Starglow Energy?

Hartmut
Who?
As far as I've read at your website,you seem to be very close in terms of having any remote knowledge of Rod's activities, or just something worth a mention to the obviously substantial amount of curiosity concerning this subject?
And I'd (we'd) like to hear from you about this...but not to badger you or corner you about it, that would not be the itnention at all Hartmut, as this is a public forum and it wouldn't be the place to go on record with anything intrusive to Rod.
My heart goes out to Lee Dorman...
I, for one, admire your work at your website.

Anyone here living in California? Why not drive around and knock on six doors and see who opens.

Maybe somebody *has* been in contact with him, and RE asked to be left alone.
