What?
No!
Dammit. They were before my time, as are most of the bands I like, and their songs (the few I know) were awesome!

Fucking 'unresponsive' claims another victim.
[grrrrrrr]
I want a goddam vaccine for unresponsive. Deadlier than car wrecks, heart attacks and cancer combined.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Good party band from the 70,s. Harmonica player was referred to as "Magic Dick and his Licking Stick". Hmmm!
