Pet Sounds? what is this Pet Sounds 
It is just a bunch of animals making noise...down on the
ol' Animal Farm! 
I read the (sample) first chapter of Nesmith's new novel,
"The American Gene", at http://www.videoranch.com
It is quite good.

lk..."reviews.....the good with the bad"...
Yes, good idea. But I'd say most of you here will not let the review dictate how you view the group or songs etc. For me, a good review is one that kind of tells me something that maybe I don't know already know, ie. what they say should open your eyes a bit after gushing or dissing whatever they're reviewing! |

THAT's what I mean, rocker! A review that has something informative to say, not just a diss....

If a 'review' is just a 'diss' than it's not a review at all! I can't say I read many that are just a 'diss' though, most music journalists, even if I disagree with what they say, are a little more than that. Guess I just don't hate reviewers as much as you, lk? |

| thx for that...I notice that all those readings are also done with Ulysses too. Guess that free-form works when it's done out loud! No, I haven't read it. I can't. I just dip in his stuff to pick out how he uses language. Joyce is a unique Irishman and I felt bad he left his country! i think he had "issues!" |

| You know I've been thinking if I make it to Dublin I'm going to try to check out the places that are mentioned in Ulysses. I'm sure some are still there. |
