I don't know, David. I wouldn't take the advice of someone that doesn't know
how to fix a car telling me how to do so...even if the last car I fixed myself
was 30 years ago.
Doing something 20, 30, 40 years is STILL more qualified experience and insight
than someone that's never done it at all. Like having children and being told
by someone that's never been a parent how to raise children.
The artist, BTW, was Randy Bachman. So, the issue would be WHICH million dollar
cheque he was carrying with him.
