        That at least is probably more explicable, as he was the major
lyricist for the last two BOC albums, though whether his stuff was good or
not is another debate; I think that whatever equality it had was rather
lost in the editing process. What writing of his I've seen has been good
but I'm not sure I'd go for a whole novel of it. Yours,
                                                        Jon
