One of the things Beck doesn't get credit for is--he has a "pet shelter" at his home. He pays out of his own pocket to rescue, feed, shelter, and medically treat stray animals! Someone visiting his in Surrey said he saw about 30 cats in the cat area alone. So, when you buy a Beck CD--you're also helping animals too.

Im almost positive he is wearing a wig but I dont care he has to look like Beck always has.

I read that Jeff still has his own hair--but he has to dye it nowadays.
I recently read that a classical piano teacher uses a few of Jeff's pieces that move from 8/8 to 7/8 as teaching tools; assigns them to her students to learn timing and melody. She rates his pieces with the masters like Schubert and Mendelssohn. I don't know if I'd go that far??
I heard he was using another amp, other than the Plexi's he's used for the last few years. Anyone know anything about this?
Jeff's had an amazing career--we're lucky he's still out there recording and gigging; continuing to grow and blossom--always evolving.
A nice album of recent pictures
