SM>in the early 1980's.  He was described as the "Lenny Bruce of country

SM>large number of people.
His band was called Kinky Friedman and His Texas Jewboys, which was
a takeoff on the great Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.  He was
hilarious -- except if it was you he was spoofing.

Steve, methinks you've been in Japan too long!  I wouldn't worry
about it.  
Speaking of subjects that are on-topic,  does anybody have an
opinion about "city bikes" in the $300 - 350 range?  I don't want
or need a radical off-road stump-hopper -- just a bike for
transportation, but tough enough I can take it anywhere.
Back in the 70s I used to ride a touring Paramount with 27 x 1.25"
wheels.  People were a bit horrified that I would take it on
mountain trails and a lot of other places it warn't spoze to go,
but I discovered that if you didn't get aerial or in general abuse
the rims, you could ride it just about anywhere except deep sand.
Anybody got an opinion about brands, metals, gizmos?  In 1971 the
Paramount cost $389 -- since I can't afford it, I don't even _want_
to know what it would cost today!
Thx
