neither! it's on 'Earthshaker'...but any excuse to listen to 'Y & T'
and 'SD' is a good one....I just need to finish getting their catalog
on CD...darn Japanese import prices!

well, I wouldn't count on them playing Jaxx again, due to an altercation
between a fan well known to the band and the bouncers at the last show
there....Buck said something to the effect that "we'll never play there
again if they treat our fans like that"....it may have only been a threat..
but I know he was pretty pissed about it....(I wasn't there, but know the
guy that was involved)

as far as the shows, well, I don't live that far north of DC, so you're
welcome to hitch with me any time if you like (I'm curious to see tBS too)

cheers,
Ted
