Fwd: Re: BTTB: Final Grade: B+



I whole-heartedly agree.  For me, I think BTTB is very good and I really stoked to get a chance to
see them again live(I couldn't make it to the Quad '96 tour).  Every band has their highs and
lows.  The way I look at it is like this: love the highs and forgive the lows(though I still
debate the whole Kenney Jones thing in my head).  By the way, is there anybodythaqt thinks there
washed up NOT going to one of the shows this summer for THAT reason("can't afford", "too far
away", and "won't be around" excuses not applicable)?
