    I'm told things like Aqua and Spice Girls...
...
    Oh?
    Oh?
...Bryan Adams, Journey, Boston, GNR, Van Hallen, Cheap Trick, Styx
...
    Work.  Computers require it to be right or it breaks.  <grin>
    I have headphones or the basement.  :)

    Me to!  _Growing, Pains_ is quite an amazing album.  Eric Brazilian,
who co-wrote Joan Osborne's _Relish_ had a big hand in this.  For a
nurse turned singer / lyricist, she did pretty good!
Typing of Metallica:
    Yep, I did!  Listened to the CD a week ago or so!
...
    Oh ho ho.  :/~
    Successful as a solo musician and as Roxy Music
    We'll let Rick tell you who Neil Finn is.  :)
    Ask him about the Chieftains!
    Rings a bell but I'm drawing a blank.  I do know he had one hit...
    A few.  <grin>
Typing of: SG or BSB promo posters:
    Not likely at this stage in my life!  Though I may spoil
girlfriend's children.  :)
    I've seen messages which just about claimed the Spice Girls are the
best thing in music since Wagner or Bach.  :)
    Just good.  <grin>
    His latest?  Not yet.  Nothing I've heard from it impresses me
enough to put it on "the short list".
