Sorry Lenny, they have big hair. We won't discuss big hair acts.

I liked _Talk to Your Daughter_. I recently bought his new album, which I must
admit I haven't played that much. It's way too slick for my tastes, but what do
you expect now that he's on the GRP label.

The album that got me into Hammill was Van Der Graaf Generator's _World
Record_. I'd reccomend this album to any fan of the 70's Crimson sound.

Check out the Compact Disc Connection. They have a much larger selection than
Noteworthy. While their disc prices may be a bit higher than Noteworthy, you
actually end up saving when you consider their low shipping rates.

You can browse and order online if you have a modem by calling (408)730-9015.
Their voice # is (408)733-0801

I've been buying from them for about 4 years now and have been very happy with
their service.

Yeah, I hear Santa Claus is coming to town, and BOY IS HE PISSED!

Geez, I guess you've been missing out on NetWart's pithy little exercises in
literary excrement sculptures.

>and know that the problems of today's world are not going away by themselves.

Say it ain't so!

>Now, Everyone is soooo pissed, why doesn't everyone clam the hell down!!!

I must admit that I am very confused. Do you mean "clam up" or "calm down"?
Where mixed metaphors are concerned, Baby, you take the pie.

See you later, crocodile!
