I've noticed something interesting about people of a certain age and Love. "Back in the day" Love was loved but kind of got lost in all the other incredible music coming out then. Yet I have met so many in recent years who, when looking back through their boxes and boxes of classic old vinyl, will oooh and ahhhh and sigh the most about the Love albums, myself included. My few vinyls are scratched to all hell but I found a really wonderful site that has all kinds of news, including news of reissues coming out. Time to update. The site also has tabs and a list of bootlegs among other great information. Victor - where's Victor? ;-) Do you know their music? If not, you should check them out. I think you would be VERY simpatico with them. I cannot believe Arthur Lee was sentenced to 16 years for firing a gun into the air!! I think shooting a gun in the air is a hideously irresponsible thing to do and it unfortunately is done by a lot of people around New Years and Fourth of July. But 16 years?? I doubt that all the others who do this get a sentence like that. At least he is getting out and hopefully he will play the clubs again. I would fall over to see him with his old bandmates. Kakki
