 	Sorry news about Dave; he was carrying noticeably more than he 
used to when last I saw them, some long years ago now, and looking 
*raddled*, but that was on the _Gods Says No_ tour so before the overdose. 
Well, I hope he evens out a bit.

 	Putting these two bits together leaves me a bit confused. I 
thought _Monolithic Baby_ utterly stank, not a worthwhile note that I 
wanted to listen to twice on it (and I did listen to it twice, to make 
sure), but on the other hand, it is (unless I'm mad) more recent than _God 
Says No_, which I thought was quite good albeit far too much of it 
recorded by computers rather than band members. Have you perhaps got the 
two confused? Yours,

unsure for some time whether he needs _4-Way Diablo_)
