No, I haven't. But it is an interesting idea. I think that it has
not turned out that way, though. Or rather, plus =E7a change, plus
c'est la meme chose... Elvis was a rock star and a one-man show,
really. And there are still bands out there that are more known as
bands than as individuals. I find it interesting that of the 4 bands
that I primarily follow and collect, two are primarily bands (The
Who, Jefferson Airplane), and two are more individual showcases
(Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull). I have no idea what that means.;-)
