I heard a cut on WNEW-FM in New York about a month ago, and it sounded pretty much like "Summertime Blues", with distorted guitars, scratchy vocals, etc... I didn't like the song, but then when I hear "Summertime Blues" now, I don't like THAT either, and I used to love it. I guess it's inevitable that, with the popularity of so-called "Heavy Metal" music nowadays, some prototypical bands from the sixties/ early seventies should cash in on it. Although I don't listen to that type of music much anymore, I found Deep Purple's recent album pretty good, and Mountain has a new song that's not bad either... Bill @ AT&T ...pegasus!maxvax!wn
