Oh, yes!  Brilliant!

It was I, Derick, and actually I wasn't talking about my idea of
Nirvana.  I was making some comment about the fact
that in the original plans for Lifehouse, once each individual
sounds his note (at the same time every other individual
sounds his/her note), all will be mystically transported to
a better place.

And I have been to that place too.  But I think of Heaven/Nirvana/Walhalla/
Paradise/Utopia as a place where noone hungers (in any of the metaphorical
translations of the word) and there is no hate and all that kind of stuff.

Maybe Nirvana isn't the best word for what I was saying.

I'm just pissed that I was only 4 years old when you saw them in '73!!
I should have been born 15 or 20 years earlier.  I feel so cheated at
not seeing them in their prime!
