[Randy Van Vliet]

You got BLOT?  You lucky bastards.  That is one of my
al time favorite tunes and I would kill (well, not
literally, maybe just commit some mayhem) to see that
live.  I hope they come back to the West Coast on
their way home (after an extended trip through the
southern states and Europe and of course Phoenix).
