BOC/Various Thoughts

[Robert Kohl]

I have to agree with John Swartz re: WOTT.  It is better for the new fan just
getting into BOC.   There was also an argument presented on the list about
buying WOTT so that its successful and Sony thinks BOC is worth the effort.
Its a good point, but how many people have that kind of $$$ to blow? If
anyone has that much dough burning a hole in their pocket, I'm taking
donations..... :-)

Another thing-From time to time I've been noticing some posts that seem to
assume an attitude that a BOC tune that is commercially successful isn't very
good.  I certainly don't feel that way.

Another problem I have with ANY band, even my beloved BOC, is doing covers of
other songs.  I know, I know, "Born to be Wild" and "We Gotta Get Out of This
Place" are BOC staples at concerts.  That's a real shame as far as I'm
concerned.  When I see a band or buy a CD, I don't want other groups' songs
on there.  If I wanted that, I'd buy the other CD in the first place.  I want
originality!

Perhaps this will provide balance to some of the opinions being expressed.
