All true!

Let the evidence show: _Imaginos_, effectively showcasing Al and  
Sandy's work for all that much of it was revisiting old ground, vs.  
either of the non-Al/Sandy bookends to that, _Club Ninja_ or _Heaven  
Forbid_ (or the _Bad Channels_ songs).  My case is rested -- nay, it  
has flown to the Caribbean and lounges on a beach sipping umbrella  
drinks, so well rested is it!

Yeah, I _wanted_ to like John Shirley's lyrics -- I knew he was a big  
fan, and I pretty much enjoyed some of his books -- but they ... I  
think they just didn't work out!

Cheers,
Carl
