Much I agree w/ deleted... I certainly hope we're not all listening to the same stuff in 20 years. My definition of growing old is - whenever your musical tastes stop changing. A lot of people I went to high school with are STILL listening to Van Halen! These are the people that keep the Classic Schlock, er, Rock stations in business (acck!!! phsttt!). I'll keep moving to were the innovation is, and stay young in the process, thank you. PEACEOUT MR-808 Now on Sony: FFWD>> - FFWD>>
