HA! I'm still laughing at Dina's presumption that I had a sudden urge for minimalist living. Nothing could be further from the truth. I don't want to start a pissing contest where I offer a total number of my vinyl, books, CD's, and musical instruments. I just quite frankly don't have enough

Son Volt, incidentally, do a killer version of "Let's Go DownTown..." Or they used to. All this Del-Vetts/Stooges stuff is fine, but I'd much rather see them put that, or "Aint No More Cane", back into their repertoire of encores... Stevie
