And he is on a serious roll. I've been a fan since the first burst of HW/HT, 
but even if he launched in 1990 I would have him canonized. DTC is 
wonderful, GP is singing better than ever and his pen has never dulled its 
point. Live shows are even better.

And speaking of 70s stalwarts making record, Get Hip released a domestic 
version of Paul Collins' latest. I picked up the import last year - good, 
not great. I need my Collins tunes to be more consistently energetic. Not 
fair, and I apologize, but that's the way I like my Beat.
