I don't know that that is the proper way to phrase the question, to be honest. But I know what you mean. I would have to say that "change" is a "constant" thing. The only thing that really changes about change is the rate of change. (What a weird sentence!) And over the past century, the rate of change has increased significantly. You can see this in almost every mode of human endevour. Travis? Are familiar with the term "The Singularity"? It is an important concept and one it would help to be familiar with, just in case such an occurance pops up during our lifetimes. (No snide remarks!

Guitar "hooks" have very little to do with a players quality. Perry is a "good" guitarist, but not a great one. What he does have is an exceptional ear for a catchy guitar phrase, hence my comment. > > > > > >Lynard Skynard > > > > > > I love Skynard. Also seen them in 97.

Seriously, I love Tull, but have > never heard Horslips. Care to tell me a little? Absolutely on of my all time favorites. What Tull did with Scottish music, Horslips did with the Irish. The early albums are very energetic Irish folk rock, but the later albums are just great. Almost every album is a "concept" album. My favorite is Aliens, which is about refugees from the potato famine coming to America. > > > >I could go on like this forever you know! > ><G> > > > > > >xponent > >More Yes Coming Soon Maru > >rob > > Me too.
