   Perhaps it would be wise to remeber that since the early 80's or there
about HW have really been the brainchild/plaything of Brocky, and it
really (in the end) doesn't matter a hoot who is in the band.  We all
have to get used to the *constant* lineup changes, and yet we all hate
'em.  But we all keep on buying the records.  I thought it quite an
interesting point to compare current HW line up to NT's boys.  Only time
will tell how long the lineup change trend can go.  Hope it lasts for an
awful long time, as it probably will never change.
