Makes you want to become a Luddite, doesn't it? I become a devoted Luddite several times each year.

It is easy enough for artists to go nuts since they have to stay close to unchanneled creative forces. It is even worse to be an artist as well as have so much money that you create your own reality. The surprise would be that the guy is not crazy and weird.

Imagine you live in a world where you have so much money that you can create your own reality in a self-contained mansion and park. Imagine that you no longer need to work for a living and that you don't need any daily contact with people you don't know. Imagine that your relationship with those you do know is one where you call all the shots and the others are subservient. Imagine that you wake up each morning and you basically have nothing to do. There's time for self analysis and also time for self creation. How can there be any healthy self-creation when you live in isolation and there are no relationships where strangers are equals? If Michael Jackson wasn't born nuts then his lifestyle surely created him. I don't think it takes much imaginative stretch to believe the allegations.

No happy ending to the story, Rooster?

Good job, man. Keep us posted. B)

Anyone planning to upgrade their copy of Turrentine, "That's Where It's At" from TOJC to JRVG? The JRVG is due out at the end of the month, but I don't particularly care to pay Dusty's prices for it. Anyone have a spare TOJC version or is planning to upgrade to the JRVG? If so, let me know what you want for it. Would like either the JRVG or TOJC edition. Thanks, Paul

Works every time!

Will have to stick to the instrumentals, Jim. Can't sing with food in your mouth. B)

I'm a bit overweight: 6'-0", 174 lbs, but not overly so. Still, I only weighed 160 lbs two years ago, and 150 lbs three years before that. The trend is--shall we say--disturbing to say the least? I have the highest respect for those who commit themselves to a voluntary program as a war prisoner in order to shed the pounds. Those guys are heroes to us all!! Sounds like Chuck's going through hell right now in order to prolong his life by a few years. We can all just look up to him as one who has crossed the "weight Rubicon!" Look everyone: I'm open to all kinds of diets, so long as they don't put you through total hell. Is there a kind of easy-ozy diet?

Hey Vibes, you call this food? You living in a concentration camp or what? Man, diets are tough!! Stick to it, brother!!

Of course the enterprise is foolish, Chuck. We all know that.

I'm the lone vote for chicken?? Hell, eatin' beef is the same as eatin' Moose.

Dodo Green?

I vote that the Three Sounds add another member and be henceforward known as the Four Groovers!

Undergroundagent would like a poll to see if the majority would like for him to stick around.

....and take Johnny E with you!

Oh!! There is the poll tab. That's it, Wolffy: you're gone!!

I vote "stay." But only if Chaney goes! BTW, Wolffy: doncha know how to do a poll??

I strongly feel this. There is a permanent void whenever someone leaves.

Well said, Brad. Needs to be requoted in full.

BTW, I hope this means that Underground is sticking around.

Two BIG negative feedbacks, Jim? That does it; no more business with you on ebay!

I blame Moose, who was conspicuously missing from Tony's list.

Agree with Rooster. Nuff said! Now back to Aligator Boogaloo...
