   Agreed.

   Steve Howe isn't with Asia any longer?  Does anybody know what he's doing?
I've long been an admirer of his guitar-playing (especially since he was
voted Best Overall Guitarist 169 years running in Guitar Player magazine,
which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's the greatest :-).  In
the old Yes days, when Anderson's lyrics got too silly, and Wakeman's
synth too overblown, I could still rely on Howe's guitar (and Squire's
bass) to keep my interest.  It'd be nice if he could find a band that
would use his talent better than Asia did (or didn't).  That is, if he
isn't washed up, like some former super-group guitarists these days (just
kidding, lp102911; see? ===> :-).
