I have only one favorite band, and that would be U2 (fan for 17 years and counting).

Shemp...yes to Creedance Clearwater Revival and Mamas and Papas, Judy Collins blah blah, and now such diverse group(s) as Moby, Andrea Bocelli, and Dixie Chicks! I've been struggling with Napster all day--my first day working with it--wondering why the heck I'm getting "transfer errors" 5 out of every 8 attempts at a download?

Went to school with both Buffy Ste. Marie and Taj Mahal, who dated a girl in my dorm. Am I telling my age? ? gt;
