Philip,
I feel sooo embarrassed and apologize for being so knee jerk with you and
Marcel! Thank you for clarifying. Marcel has also clarified to me
privately in a few excellent posts that he really should send to the list
(maybe next time the 80s discussion comes up ;-) I very much agree with
both of your perspectives (ugh, Guns 'n Roses especially was like one long,
dark pall over LA music during the later 80s, ugh). Thanks for the McGuinn
info - I am just more and more nuts about him as the years go by ;-)
