Know what I mean? yes. conversely though, i think siskel sometimes had a tendency to downgrade films for not being what he wanted them to be rather than dealing with them on their own terms. i think that is part of why they were such a good pairing; their weaknesses and strengths complemented each other well. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Why did Robyn decide to call his band the Egyptians? The story about the the origin of The Soft Boys name is common knowledge, but I have never seen anything written about the source or inspiration for the Gyps. Anyone know the answer?

The story Maybe it's partly phonetic? Since his own name has that unusual "y" spelling, maybe he wanted to stress that by picking a corresponding band name with a short "y" sound as well? And of course, one of his favorite bands (the Byrds) had a short-y name too...not to mention Dylan, and the legendary Oozyn Cysts....
