Herb,
It's the sheep theory! Tell one sheep what to do and the others will
follow. It's also a virus that began and spread with Elvis Presley. I do
appreciate that AT LEAST a few people will have the sense to seek out the
deeper cuts from exposure to a "hit". Actually, making a great single is a
long lost art form.

peace,
