Easy guys.  Just wanted to give Kevin Mc all the information.  Wouldn't be
fair for someone to be tossed (again, I'm not casting a vote here) without
knowing that it's actually a possibility.

We'll let Schrade's post on Kevin Mc's recent subject line be the last word
on this.
I just want us to 'stop hurting people'.

??  Eh??  How do you know?  I think Pete can't *help* but be honest.  He
thinks, and writes.  Very little filter.

Yep.

I tend to think Pete has a better grip on what process would work best and
produce the best result.  I like to think first, and then act.  Go in with a
definite plan that has room for some improv musically.

Don't agree.  Lyrics have suffered?  Don't agree.  I *do* agree that some
improv is a good thing.

You need to qualify this.  How can one "improv" on lyric writing??  By the
sheer act, it must be thought out, right????????

>My picks for Pete's best work since WAY would be <snip>

I agree with those, but Psycho-D has some wonderful lyrics in it as well.
It just needs (doesn't really need anything actually) the "oomph" that The
Who (raw, all electric and energized Who) brings to Pete's work.
