Late reponse: I liked these guys too, for what they were. If anybody makes
you feel embarrassed about asking, the hell with 'em. (Now, if you had asked
about Madonna that might be different ;-) I seem to vaguely remember reading
that the source of the band's name is not the sexist pig thing it seems, but
I can't remember what it was. Anyway, they had some fun tunes.

Glad ya finally got the chance to try it out! :-) Hope you have the time to
give the rest of it a listen soon. You know, I haven't listened to this in a
while, and even though I can play half of it in my head, I feel a need to pop
it in the CD player and really get a fresh listen. Guess I'll have to go buy
a new copy! BTW Marsha, I keep forgetting to ask about getting one of those
a cappella compilation tapes from you in exchange - whaddaya say? (As if you
could possibly turn down a chance to spread the word :-)

Unfortunately, I didn't really know you guys at the time (and besides, I was
preoccupied with more, er, *interesting* company, if you know what I mean :-)
I've been un-preoccupied though (sigh), so if I make it up there again, I'll
be sure to let ya know. HMV down on Yonge St. was a pretty cool place - better
than anything we have down here, that's for sure!

Yeah, a couple of friends of mine keep harping on me to pick that up - believe
it or not, I've never heard that classic. I may have to just borrow it for the
time being, since I'm low on funds :-(

>Oh yeah, if we ever find out where you live, we're raiding your CD collection!

Ha ha, you guys'd probably either drown or suffocate if you ever came down
here to La. - I ain't worried :-) (Feelin' like a duck after the huge rains
and flooding we had here yesterday - my car barely made it down one street.)

Uh oh, my lack of Kiss expertise is exposed - I'll have to hang my head
forever around here ;-) Actually, _Rock 'n Roll Over_ was my co-first record
ever bought - couldn't resist the cool cover. BTW, 'net-ese' for your tongue
maneuver would be :-P, but you better be careful doing that when Libby's
around (at least one of us should ;-)
