I mean, when Big Al (who I count as a friend who can take whatever heat he generates) comes up with "I don't get what all the fuss is about Bird!", hey, is there any respectable way to tell him he's not just full of shit, but flat out WRONG? The only respectable thing to do would be to tell me that not only am I wrong, but that I'm ALSO full of shit!!! I have since corrected that generally grievous error (didja catch that, Star Wars fans?) by purchasing the Verve Master Takes box and (eventually) the 5-disc box called (I think) "A Studio Chronicle." The only reason I haven't purchased it yet is because the public library still has four copies of it. Once those eventually get stolen (as happens to all the good music in the Arlington library system), then I'll likely pick it up. This is not to say that I get Bird's music any more now than I did then, but I'm enjoying it a helluva lot more! Edited December 5, 2007 by Big Al Quote

I just assume that everybody (myself included) is full of shit, so that's gonna be a given at any point in time. But to tell somebody they're wrong, hey, that's personal! Quote
