Well, I wouldn`t go that far. I`ve been known to rip bands before and the Beatles are among many that did nothing for me. But I never rip someone`s taste in music (unless it comes in the form of a "Top...fill in the blank... poll."). Too many people with what I once considered "odd taste" turned me on to some of the best I`ve ever heard, and I can only hope I did the same for others. > But that, I don't remember the guy's name, Hinkley guy who shot Lennon >was undoubtedly trying to kill YoYo.

I guess I just wanted to get in everyones faces and stir up some reaction, So I said they suck...I think that pretty much covers it. You guys can read in the "IMHO" or "as far as I'm concerned" or not, because I would never force my opinion on others just make it known.

Oh no that was Chris. Okay that goes for the rest of you too. Yeah Alexander. What was that song about the temptation of saint what's his name, that one was crazy. I noticed your mention of Bill Nelson also. I have quite a bit of his stuff, he's cool. I went to a Trower show in Chi. back in the seventies and imagine my surprise when we got there late and the opener had a fantastic guitarist, very elgant, wearing black dress trousers and a white ruffled shirt, playing a sunburst finish Gibson ES335. We were trying to find our seats and I was being blown away by these guys. Suddenly they break into a totally familiar Be Bop Deluxe tune. I was in heaven, I couldn't believe it. I was a huge fan and had no idea they where the opener. My friend was going with this chick and she had a friend, they had an extra ticket and I got to go for free, but I never eyeballed the ticket. Let me tell you this, to a Bill Nelson fan Trower was a total letdown after Be Bop. And I dig Trower quite a bit. I felt sorry for him that night.
