Back to the drugs,It's a sad commentary when ANYONE here would seem to condone it and praise a drug maker...Don't care how great you are,if you make,sell,and promote this s^^t that ruins so many lives ,you are a sorry SOB Exclamation Evil Twisted YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Have you watched the commercials on tv, lately. Apparently, there's a drug for every discomfort and sexual malfunction imaginable. Those companies are the real pushers.

From the ads, it would appear that both hair shampoo and especially chewing gum can launch a hallucinogenic journey Timothy Leary could only have dreamed of. I agree about the influences on Hollywood special effects; when "tripping" has attained the Madison Avenue stamp of approval to sell you chewing gum, it's hard to blame a chemical or a person.

This young lady was born without arms and she played the guitar. I don't know anything else about her.

And (so to speak) left-handed at that.

Bear's simultaneous live mixing and recording engineering two-track(!) on the Old & in the Way record is fantastic, more than 35 years later.

Chris, I know that you sometimes like makin' fun of people and I certainly don't mind.
In the aforementioned situation the speakers in front of the stage (Facing the audience) drowned the little or no monitoring we had. I pointed it out to the soundman at the soundcheck and he kept ignoring me. That was fifteen years ago. If this happened to me now, I would say "you either fix it or I'll leave".
