True enough.  Heavy rotation at WLIR on Long Island, cool though it was, didn't
make for a true hit, necessarily.

There was a Translator comp that had a lot of stuff I liked.  "Lazarus," and
especially "Gravity."

Many wouldacouldashouldabeen hits.  The things people think are precious, I
don't understand.
