It's a tough economy, and like his disenfranchised fans, he's going to have to do some cutting back now. I was going to make an expensive food joke, but everything I write sounds 'too foreign'... less Outback? Maybe we'll hear in April how this 'blessing in disguise' kept him just under the next tax bracket. Hey, Beck has to survive some how.
