I know this is a lame and crappy answer to the question, but liking BOC and
asking the question "What's it all about, anyway?" brings only one answer
to mind. When asked to describe Jazz music, Tom Servo of MST3K says, "Oh
MAN, if you HAVE to ask, you'll NEVER know."
Just one of those things you have to feel I guess.
Hey, I told you it was a lame answer. Its not my fault you didn't page down.
:^D
