comments on #2 and #3: not to say that you're incorrect (since we're
speculating anywho), if BOC thinks a record deal is just around the corner,
then they've probly been thinkin that way for the past 7 years or so...
also, the image of the band is tarnished if they can't put anything on
vinyl...er, I mean CD...while I may not perceive BOC as "washed up" (although
they have had their better days), there are others that feel that BOC is
another "geezer" rock band destined for the Jurassic Park (On) Tour
Forever....
if BOC would be able to release some new material, I think that it would be a
killer CD...afterall, they've had all this time to perfect the songs...I'd
Like To See You In Black could possibly hit the pop charts...that tune is
HOT!
