- hey, thanks for all the cards, ruthbaby.....and natalie and don and others
- too....and it doesn't TAKE two eyes to read a monitory....not like depth
- perceiption is important on a flatscreen.....or that the left eye focuses
- well enough to make any difference anyhow....

- interesting....i kinda like them....but am not crazy about them....but
- today a package came from andy....my programmer son in chicago....and we
- opened it. .....there are two pacakges that can only be cd's.....and a hat
- that i am wearing....(it wasn't wrapped....it is a truly wonderful straw
- porkpie....)
- but there was also another package that was bursting open, and was
- obviously a book...and it was the NEW Rolling Stone Album Guide...which I did
- not have....and 'coincidentally' as i was thumbing thru it i noticed the
- piece on the BoDeans...and it says....two stars on each of their albums....
- and it says..... "a real flair for injecting a touch of soul into the
- most mundane harmony arrangements. As songwriters, however, the two are
- if not quite hacks then certainly not very far removed, specializing in the
- type of roots-rock twaddle beloved by those who like having new albums
- to buy but desperately hate new music."

- oh, well.....
