Ah, Bob, I'm just messing with you at this point.  You've created this 
online persona as the Grumpy Mr. Wilson of rock, forever yelling "You 
kids get offa my lawn!!" and I find it entertaining to tweak it.

As for your statement that I'm somehow unable to say WHY I like 
something...if that's truly what you believe, there's not a lot I can 
do about that.  And I really don't care enough to try.
