Yes! Now I remember why the hell I would compare those two albums in
my youth. Birch, the hard lovin' man!

Right you are (Mayo). That's why Maiden are naively pretentious! They
took themselves too seriously: Something very lethal in the world of
r'n'r. That's why they can't make an album like Imaginos. Not to
mention Spectres or FOUO.

And Paul thinks I'm some bigot. ;-)

BTW, I wonder (Larry) why your AOL mailer sends the forwarded message
from that Mayo guy twice.
