I wouldn't mind hearing more stuff from HF either, say Damaged, or
esp. CGLoD...Probably the fact that BOC's been around a lot longer
than the groups you cited, and has so many more albums out there to
pull material from.  Also, though I hate saying it, those bands are
still pretty much on the upswing, and are trying like hell to sell
new albums to a crowd that is in a current time-frame, whilst BOC has
to contend with the 'nostalgia thing...'

That's great news.  Hope it gives them the confidence to put out more
stuff...BTW, John, any news on the Live album [BBC or King Biscuit] ?

Hey, somebody videotaped the Kingsbury gig  a while back, but jason
didn't make that one.  Maybe during the August mini-tour, the planets
will be in allignment...
