Hmmmmm, to contradict Pete?  That's tough to do.
But, one thought.....there surely has to be a place or line that can be
crossed.  What I'm thinking is if an artist pumps out a bunch of stuff,
there may be a small portion of that stuff that may be perceived (by some!
most likely not by hard-core fans like ourselves) as "sub-par" to the rest
of the stuff (perhaps due to just releasing music good or bad.  Kind of
like, here it is, take it or leave it.)  To some, one experience with
"sub-par" could turn off to experiencing subsequent incredible stuff.
Now, if that matters at all to us or the artist, that's a different
question.

The Bartender has spoken!
Not to belabor this thread, which now has become a true pain in my ass, I'd
be curious to know why The Ramones pulled out of that British tour in Nov.
of '76.
Anyone?
