     Agreed, Motorhead need/deserve the exposure.  When they played
here last year, I preach the gospel most mightily to the dissolute
youth in the Cambridge Rock Society, and lo! fans were born.  So
I think they can still deliver it to "the kids" if they hear it and
learn better than to suck on the weak and pox-ridden pap MTV feeds
them ...

     Well, Tool are a cool band :) but Limp Bizkit?!  Guess I'm
an old fart before I'm 30.  Better start getting my lines down:
Damn kids! :)

Cheers,
Carl
