Hi--Speaking of GBV, just returned from a live show by them tonight in San
Diego. I was thoroughly underwhelmed....I guess the idea of watching a band
getting themselves progressively intoxicated during a set  just seems so old
hat by now. The Kinks did the same thing back in '72 but they had a much
more charismatic lead singer. And the Replacements pulled the same stunt in
the 80s but they had much stronger songwriting.

Or could it be that GBV had to follow Tommy Keene, tonight's opening act?.
Now there's a tough act to follow!

Steve
