Well, I watched this program with a pretty open mind in an attempt to
appreciate Bushmania.  What I saw makes me still wonder why this
condition exists.  I'm not implying she was bad or anything (I actually
found most of the performence pleasent) but I really didn't see anything
I hadn't seen before.  I have the honor :-) of being one of the elders
of this group (being old enough to actually have driven to Woodstock!)
and have seen probably a lot more water flow under the R&R bridge than
most here.  But Ms. Bush appears to be nothing more than an electronically
refined combination of several 60s individuals/groups (e.g. Marianne
Faithful, Vanilla Fudge, etc.).  Again, let me emphasis that this is in
no way a criticism of her talent or ability.  I just fail to see what
makes the Bushites think she is so wonderful.

BTW, before I get flamed for not being able to appreciate "New Music",
I challenge you to find an "Old Fart" that has the titles in his record
collection that I have in mine!

"Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday."
