I didn't intend to attack any of HW's drummers, as I haven't listened
to them enough to offer a qualified opinion.  But I do know a lot
about the former drummer in BOC, and I stand by my opinion that he's
one of the greatest percussionists ever in rock!

As long as the band isn't Rush!  Sorry, Sorry, Sorry...

We are irreverent and opinionated.  But our irreverence and strong
opinions have arisen from our being knowledgeable music fans.  If
we're misstating things, let others prove us wrong.  Engage us in
debate, but don't blow us off automatically as assholes.  Let us
prove that ourselves!

BTW, how does one sign up for alt.music.blueoystercult?
