Right! It's an issue that won't go away. Both in the studio and on
the stage, the Bouchards were soooo important. Wheras Danny may
actually be a better bassist than Joe [hey this is no put-down, bass
was never Joe's primary instrument] it remains to be seen if DM will
ever write something on the order of Hot Rails...
Similarly, Bobby's a great drummer [just not as unique as Al, who's
got a style all his own] but it's unlikely he'll ever contribute the
kind of songwriting that Al brought to the group throughout his
tenure...
