Man, these guys really are something!  You'd think that with a summer
of wheezer festivals coming up, that they'd move heaven and earth to
get a new record out.  For crissakes, I hear Steppenwolf are readying
a new record [though that might be some kind of greatest hits thing].
Anything would help, even the BBC record [though I wonder if the band
even has any control over its release.   Maybe all that stuff's
Sony-owned?  John?]
