Har har..good to hear another old skool punk on the list.

As far as the Stevie/Jamiroquai debate goes, I think it's completely irrelevant
to dispute a comparison. Stevie spiritual/soul vibe is a result of years and
years of hard work, struggle, history and the mind of a genius. Jamiroquai, on
the other hand, hasn't been around even been around long enough or had enough
albums to warrant even a small mention in the scope of musical history.

I can't tell you how much i relate to DJ Herb's last letter and i'm sure
there a lot of people who feel the same frustration. You just gotta keep
movin' on and ignore the stragglers and 5-years-too-late imitations. I
guess i'm pretty much done with most of the music i was into and they
can have their Sick of it All and Gorilla Buiscuits because i will
always have those memories to cherish. At least Void doesn't have an MTV
video....

Sorry to go a bit off topic but i feel it's relevant because i really
get the sense that the same thing has the possibility of/is happening
again with what i'm into now. I saw a Lexus add with a jungle soundtrack
for Christ's sake!!!!

sorry for rehashing the ongoing "corporate devils" controversy,
