Hmmm. Well, I always find it interesting when folks perceive a "lemmings"
affect when the music in question is something they don't personally like.
I hope I'm not off-base here, John, but I assume you don't care for the
new Wilco?<g> And to put the shoe on the other foot -- I've no doubt that
Stevie saw absolutely no lemmings when Trace was being praised to the
skies, and most likely the same went for John when Sign O' The Times was
being universally toasted. I assume both of 'em just chalked it up to the
good taste of the reviewers (who were, after all, affirming their own good
taste.<g>).--don
