Door "Closed" On SUPERTRAMP Reunion
March 30, 2012, 12 years ago
Billboard.com's Gary Graff reports:
Former SUPERTRAMP co-frontman ROGER HODGSON has taken the long way to his first full-scale US tour, the occupational hazard of being in a "faceless" band better known for its songs than its individual members.
"The name Roger Hodgson is not particularly well-known," Hodgson, in the midst of a massive world tour that stretches into November, tells Billboard.com. "When I left the band (in 1983) I hadn't done anything to kind of get an identity for myself; it was really only die-hard fans who knew my name."Hodgson credits his agent with the tour title, which he says "is working. It connects the dots for people that I was the guy who sang those songs - 'The Logical Song', 'Breakfast in America', 'Take the Long Way Home', 'Dreamer'. People everywhere know my voice, know the songs, the songs are still played all over the radio, yet you say Roger Hodgson and they say 'Roger who?' That's been the hardest job, to tell the truth."
