I still say it doesn't count as an album per se. Don't make me bring
up _With A Twist_. ;-P

I just don't get the urge to listen to DNOTY that much. I guess I
have to be in the mood. I used to just pop it in, and skip ahead to
'Coal Train' and 'A Little Lower Than The Angels', then Ric put those
on _Hush_, so I don't have to anymore.

Fuck it...who cares. ;-)

When did you see them? What I liked best about those OTR shows back
in the day was how they could shift gears in concert. OTR would
caress your cheek with a velvet glove, and then slap you with it -
that's when you find out it's full of buckshot.
>>Don't tell me OTR could never rock. I ain't buying it.
>Well, soft-rock, maybe. ;-)
Don't go there. ;-)
