How many demos can a single disc hold, if a single disc is all you get?

Carolyn:

Impossible. Two full discs are demos. If they include ANY of the third disc,
and they should, you will get only enough to whet your appetite.

Brian:

No sarcasm at all...I'm dead serious. I don't know WHY I like it, but I
really do. It's modern, powerful, and enaging. How many new bands can do
that? It doesn't sound a bit like The Who, but as I said the last thing on
Earth we need is a Bridges To Babylon from them. I can just see the Rolling
Stone review now: "Trying to remake Who's Next and failing..." *I* do NOT
want to see THAT!
I know it's too late for The Who to be innovative...but if they're
interesting, that's good enough for me. Who needs more of the same?

Too right! I'm not unhappy with the bonus disc, just wish it had been more
of what it could have been. Much like Anthology III by The Beatles...I'm
cursed by knowing of far superior material they could have but chose not to
release.

You should take a trip down here to sunny SC. It was almost 80 today. Feb,
you say? Where? I WISH we had some snow!

(and no, I'm not being sarcastic)
