I often receive notes from bands thanking me for previewing or recommending their shows in this daily post. With that in mind, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that Marcus Foster (or his management or street team) finds this, reads it and takes it to heart. Marcus, you are an incredible performer, I love your songwriting, and I think that you deserve great success in your musical career. But for goodness sake, when one of your songs goes viral (like "I Was Broken"), even if it was a major star (Robert Pattinson) who made it happen, please, please don't leave it out of your setlist. Last time when Marcus performed at the Casbah, the fans were mostly Twihards, and I heard more than a few disappointed fans lament the absence of the song and, furthermore, the absence of an encore. I'll give you another chance, but please, give your fans what they want and play the damn song.
