        Or Comus at 78

        And I got your money! Hahhahaha! Sucker! Just be thankful 
        you didn't give me your credit card number you silly 
        Wisconsin cheese-eating person. I lance my boil in your 
        general direction. Your father was a camper and your 
        sister reeks of Frankenberries. And if you complain one 
        more time I shall be forced to taunt you some more and 
        send you a Knack 8 Track.

        That's true but they rally grow on you.

        Agreed that the Live album is their best and proggiest, 
        not least because of the tron, but I also like some of 
        their others, such as _Octoberon_, _Early Morning 
        Harvest_, _Time Honoured Ghost_. It's art rock, with a 
        tiny touch of Southern Cal. harmonies which you seem to 
        like more than me, but you could do a lot worse than BJH. 
        It holds up a lot better than say Sebastian Hardy, but 
        not as well as Ange. Somewhere in between. Still, I'm 
        always surprised they didn't have more commercial 
        success. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
