STP is a pretty decent band. Nothing spectacular, but they are a couple
of notches above most. Sorta like Zeppelin. Alice in chains can be very
good to fairly mediocre. All IMHO of course. (I grew up on BOC,
Zeppelin, Rainbow, Aerosmith, etc. so my opinion may be a bit biased ;))

Well, I don't read a lot of sci-fi, mostly fnatasy, but I have read Hyperion.
Damn good book. Though some others didn't care for the sequel, "Fall of
Hyperion", I thought it was excellent too. Read both if you have the time.
