Yeah. Sort of. I suppose that's pretty accurate. I mean, as far as I'm
concerned, I'll lump Emmylou Harris in with Rancid. Why? Because they make
really good music that isn't heard by the masses, even though they're not
necessarily the same style. So, I guess we're agreeing. I guess it's me that
needs to give Binky's crack pipe back now...
