I can't feature ANYthing in common to Grateful Dead, Twisted Sister, and top-40/AOR--except possibly that he doesn't like any of them (and there's the elitism). And just maybe if he'd peruse a few of the postings he has to weed thru, he might stumble on the fact that Grateful Dead does a fair bit of "electronic" music. (He might even learn to spell "Grateful"...oops, never mind, FORGET I SAID THAT; I don't want to start a bunch of spelling flames and it's no big deal anyway...) -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
