You said a mouthful!  BÖC fans were the absolute most patient in rockdom, back in
the day.  They always took FOREVER between albums, and EB would  tease us at
concerts, saying the new album was coming in a couple months etc.  And this was
when they were signed by Columbia, and were on top of the world.  Then, a year
later, we'd see the new album!  It got to be an inside joke with us loyal fans.  EB was
almost even winking when he said it--I guess, you couldn't tell for sure with those
shades!
