        Yeah, I can definitely see the similarity to Traffic. 
 
 DM> _Anyway_ is half live and was released in the US out of sequence. 
 
        Love that album. Real weird sound quality, tho. 
 
 DM> _It's Only A Movie_ I never warmed up to, but after selling a copy

        I'm still scared of Ashton so I haven't gotten close 
        enough to check. It's not the kind of thing you would ask 
        someone unless you got to know them well first. I have an 
        album by Ashton, Gardner and Dyke and I still can't bring 
        myself to listen to it, so paralyzed am I.

        Kind of like the way Back Street Crawler became a band, 
        eerie how both bands had the word "Street" and the 
        letters a, w and l. 
 
 DM> I think of Family->Streetwalkers as similar to 
 DM> Free->Bad Company, core players forming a similar new band, tightened 
 DM> up and a little more commercial, a bit less eccentric... 
 
        Except that unlike Bad Company, Streetwalkers didn't 
        suck. Free was OK, though. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
