John,
I too long to see BOC at the top of the heap where they belong, but
we all know of the fickle-ness of the music biz--good doesn't always
mean successful, and bad doesn't always sink to the bottom.  In
meantime, I kinda like seeing BOC in clubs.  When they were playing
stadiums, they were often real far away, when I couldn't get good
seats.  In clubs, you're right next to the band, and can see every
expression on their faces.  That's great.  Also, at clubs, there's an
excellent chance to see the band after the gig, to talk to them and
thank them for the show.  I've been able to talk to the band after
every club gig (about 5 i think) whereas when they were
superstars I never got to see the band in person.

'Cultasaurus...' was especailly bad in that the reptile depicted
wasn't 'erectus,' but a quadruped.  Bad title is one thing, bad
English another...
