Really, FoUO.   I never said BOC wasn't guilty of many of the
excesses I blast other groups for.  Nobody's immune.  At least BOC's
always had a sense of humor...

Sure thing!  But anyone who;s been on the list for a while knows Rush
is like a pet rock to me, and I'm needling the fans more than
critiquing the band itself.  And I own a couple of Rush albums
myself, BTW...Saw them open for BOC once or twice back in the hoary
days of yore...
