I felt the same way at a Kitaro concert in Denver (January). It was a
LONG concert, and I can only take airy synth stuff in small doses. The
King Crimson concert (also January) could have gone ten hours, and it
would have been just fine by me. :-)

Great song by a great band.

So does time dilation explain Hendrix's 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to
Be)? :-)

I'd like to see it, though hopefully at the matinee . . . (is it worth
>$6.00?)
