Great reply Josh... level headed and well thought out... other great replies
added also... ('cept for the "get over it" one... how do you simply "get
over" what restructed the already great inheritence left to us by the great
blues players of the past, Elvis & Motown?...that's like trashing all of
your mother and father's genes just because they're not around anymore...
sheesh) ... Anyway, great replies and you've all made me realize that there
will never be another Beatles and added the fact that there'll never be
another 60's for that matter... (the innocence and the angst)... They
(Beatles & 60's) were the "converging point of the Universe from where all
came to and came from... Wow, did I say that?... Thanks guys & gals...
Cheers,
Miguel
