k, one more little thing. You wrote, and I quote, <<I've never considered myself any kind of a purist. I'm especially fond <<of the music from the 60's and early 70's because those were my formative <<years. Those years also predate rap and heavy, heavy metal both of which too <<often contain overt obscenity, mind-numbing noise and lyrics that are impossible <<to discern, further complicated by the fact that many albums are no longer <<accompanied by lyric sheets. It becomes impossible to know what you are <<listening to and, by virtue of repeating the act, assenting to. >> You are, as you documented, 40 years of age now, so that might explain your apparent aversion to crap (strangely, the "c" is always silent when referring to this type of "music," therefore, it is commonly misspelled "rap" as well), and heavy, heavy metal. I'm sure our parents expressed their aversion to Jimi Hendrix, Fred Zepple, Ten Years After, Grand Funk RailRoad, BTO, etc., for reasons similar to yours, but who can be sure, eh? These kids these days… …B.
