heh heh heh...yeah, I know...:-)  (Still waiting for an explanation of the

<cough> Thanks.  I know.  The thing that annoys me most about his stuff is
how BOW-RING it is...you listen to the first 10 seconds, you've heard the
whole thing.  At least, the stuff that gets airplay, which doesn't inspire
me to go listen to anything else.  AFAIK, the only redeeming event of the
man's career was his affectionate portrayal of Uncle Ernie in '89, which I
actually enjoyed.

Actually, he said that "Sensation" was written about a girl, and turned out
to be a pretty good song about Jesus.

On Dan's part, not Pete's.

Look for the CD of John's Entwistle's Ox, a Philadelphia 1975 set from King
Biscuit where they opened for Humble Pie.  Great stuff, only complaint is
that since it was an opening set it's too short!

Don't care?  Are you kidding?  There's probably people on the list who
could tell you what city that was in and the opening act!
