Now, now...
We each have our own minds.
Plus, who was watching?
I was out boarding!

What?  I thought you wanted to move to the Smokies?
Oh, that's right, those aren't *real* mountains.

Exactly my point!

Yeah, what's up like that?
It's your question, who are they to make the rules and parameters?
Pop-u-larity.  Number of people.  World exposure.
Seems pretty damn easy to me!

Exactly!
What, did The Who *lose* fans right after '71?
Did Quad cause them to lose fans?
Did the death of Keith cause fans to pack it in?  Obviously not.
They got more!

Without question.
Well, maybe only Mark will raise question.
I'm wondering what color he sees when looking at the *blue* sky.

>You & Mark, I see, are both having

What, Mark and Jim are inseparable?
Homo's!

Board it hung up for the year now.
Time to sail!

You *are* right!
