    AND, TO YOU CANDY PANTS...

    First of all forgive my typo in my response to Peter Joshua (their=they're). Secondly, I have hated Foghat and the like for longer than you have been alive. At a very tender age, I realized that most rock and pop were little more than disposable consumer commodities. At that point, I began looking beyond what the media and my peers told me to like and began to explore for myself. As a result, most of what I listen to today just gets deeper and deeper.
