I'm shocked, and isn't 'palindrome' a dirty word?:)

As it happens, I'm suprised that so many people think Doug is out to stop
the band making money, as this is his main role for band. The only reason
Doug would put a stop to the Griffin releases is if they don't pay royalties
or haven't negotiated a contract that is acceptable. Who knows what goes on
behind the scenes. It would be great if these CD's could be available to the
public, but the band's interests have to be considered.
