Nope, 'fraid not.  But damn, I missed *that* cat!!
Some of the styles in Montreal were blowing me away.  If the platform shoes
go any higher, people are gonna have to wear those blinking red lights on
their heads to warn aircraft.

Hated them in the early 70's...........hate 'em even more now.

>Hope you had fun, anywho.

Had a blast.  Thank god for the 24hr Burger King down the block. ;-)
Drive back did suck though.  Snow covered roads added an extra 1/2 hour.
Plus, I was in an extra giggly mood when I got frisked at the boarder!

Well my respect for Friedland just went down the tubes...
Plus, wouldn't this support Mark's contention above regarding being
underrated?

Not in this case!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!   *CAAAAAAAAAAcccckkkk*!!!!!! 
Tell me I didn't just read those words????????????
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh, They're still there!!!!!!
Make them go away......Make them go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why I'm a Who fan (short and simple):
Best Bassist, period.
Best Drummer, period.
Best Song writer and Rhythm Guitarist, period.
One of the most powerful and dynamic voices in Rock, semi colon....wait
no....period.

You're right, we can't.  There's no comparison!!!!!!
