Did I write that you were a Bozo? I just said that classic rock wasn't really my bag... anymore. I grew up on the Beatles, Who, Bowie, etc. It's not that I don't like them, I've just had my fill of it. On the other hand, my friends and I went to an Irish pub in Berkeley, CA called Becketts a few weeks ago and there was a nice little transvestite singing Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel songs. We had a great time but we were mostly there to eat, drink and be social. (the guy had an EDP that he never seemed to use). If I'd seen the same guy at 21 Grand in Oakland I would have walked right out. As I said in my email, it's all context. A change in venue makes a big difference. > I'm not a looping act though.

In a world full of people who mainly worry about interest rates during the day and watch TV at night you're trying to go out and not be passive.

That's more of what people here are into, but not totally. There's a big diversity in taste here. I only commented about what I thought about what you were doing in a negative light when you commented on what others were doing in a negative light. > I need to get the hang of that, but it should be fun once I do. Have fun! Mark
