Doing that UK Jive

Nigel:

All right. Who I am would probably be too much to explain (and boring to the
others), other than I'm a Rock fan and archivist and obsessive
discussionist. Author, used CD store owner (Generations Used CDs), political
genius (I'm told).
Where I am is Myrtle Beach, SC, home of the first Baba Center and the first
two Whofests.
Why does this discussion suddenly remind me of the bar scene in Search For
Spock?

I'm no stranger to that particular form of intoxicant myself (32 years
"behind the bong"). But a little ginger ale and a twist of lime and Gin is
not too bad. I call the drink a Del Dotto, after a scam artist who sold real
estate advice on TV. But it was Quad which turned me on to Gin, back in `73,
and I like the high better than any other alcohol.

Jeff:

I don't consider this "discord." Discussing The Who and other bands is what
the list is all about...especially when there's nothing new to discuss with
the band.

It'll depend on the Bush economy for the UK trip. I might have to close the
second store if this keeps up, and there's NO WAY I can last 3 1/2 more
years. Besides, I thought the UK shows were off?
