I think it is because Dirty Frank died. This was posted in another thread.
Ed does not seem like a germaphobic.
I thought the same thing. Totally sucks. I was pushing myself to go to this show to begin with (just to see him) and now this news. I am so disappointed. This after having to cancel a much anticipated vacation to Mexico next week. This week has sucked BIG time.
Yeah, I'm thinking Eddie's not much of a germaphobe either..... His sexy unkemptness are my first clue. His swilling wine with half the audience are my second clue.
I have awesome seats and am bummed out but it will still be an awesome show!

Turn Turn Turn 90
PETE Seeger turns 90 tomorrow. But if you're at the bakery to buy him a birth day cake, turn around and walk out the door. Codfish cake is what he likes for his birthday, Seeger tells The Post.
And more than three dozen artists -- led by Bruce Springsteen -- will be celebrating the fabled folk singer and activist on his birthday with a big bash at Madison Square Garden. It's a benefit for the Clearwater, the sloop and organization Seeger founded to help clean and preserve the Hudson River.
The fund-raiser show -- which also features folks such as Dave Matthews, John Mellencamp, Joan Baez, Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie, Ani DiFranco and many more -- was the only way Seeger would agree to participate in the big party.
"I'm really not enthusiastic about big things," he says, shying from the attention. "I think if there's a world here in 100 years, it's going to be saved by millions of little things."
Seeger lives in the Hudson Valley town of Beacon with Toshi, his wife of 65 years. "We met square dancing; I think she was a better dancer, but we both take it easy now at our age," he says. He does, however, still chop wood at his home (that he built by hand) overlooking the Hudson. "Actually, that's the only reason I'm still alive. It's my recreation."
Seeger insists he'll be doing "very, very little traveling from now on. I sing with the kids in my hometown and for the Clearwater, but I don't expect to be making long trips."
Having said this, he's just gotten home from New Orleans' Jazzfest. Earlier this year, he was in Washington, performing at the pre-inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial, where he sang the Woody Guthrie anthem "This Land Is Your Land." The Washington concert "was so well-organized, all I had to do for the 48 hours I was down there was memorize six verses that Woody wrote."
He did get to meet then-President-elect Obama, who told him: "Mr. Seeger, my mother played me your music when I was 4."
Seeger got another thrill, courtesy of Springsteen, whom the elder singer calls "really one of the most wonderful guys in the world."
The day after the DC show was Martin Luther King Day and, according to Seeger, "I had to get home to sing with some kids in my hometown. I had a date to sing at a local Baptist church. So Bruce arranged for a special jet airplane. It took me only 45 minutes to go from Washington to my home airport. Well, you see why executives use these jets," the old lefty adds with a laugh.
Of course, no conversation with Seeger is complete without a little singing on his part. During a half-hour chat, he sings "Oh you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union," in a recollection of a long-ago show at Madison Square Garden for the Transport Workers Union. He also croons a couple of repetitions of "All we are saying is give peace a chance," from a 1969 anti-war march on Washington.
Here's hoping Seeger will continue to lead people in song with the likes of "If I Had a Hammer," "We Shall Ovecome" and "Turn! Turn! Turn!"
Knock on wood -- or, in Seeger's case, chop wood.
Cod cake, for Pete's sake
Pete Seeger's codfish cake recipe, as told to Billy Heller:
Get some frozen salt codfish -- they sell it in most stores.
Thaw it, chop it up into very fine pieces and let it soak in fresh water, enough to get out some of the salt (you don't want all the salt out).
Then, boil some potatoes, and mash 'em up.
Now, mix the two together so you have a mixture. And some onions make it nice, too. Or garlic. Garlic improves almost anything in the world.
Then put it in a big, big frying pan and make one great big cake out of it, about an inch and a half thick. And brown on the bottom.
Just turn the whole thing upside down in one big whoop, and now it's brown on top.
Cut slices for everybody.
