Of course then I'm no       audiophile. For example : I        recently was looking for a copy of Chicago II (for nostalgia's sake.....what       did FZ say about nostalgia?) & everyone warned me: Stay away from the Rhino       remastered copies....they       bite the bag...etc...etc... And when I finally got it & could hear NOTHING       wrong with it....none of the "The vocals are mixed incorrectly....the bass is       to loud" blah blah blah...etc...etc.       So my copy of ZA sounds fine to me! The thing I don't care for with ZA is       this was Frank during his "Hey, Look! I'm the star!" period. Which was pretty       much everything he did after the MOI. Kinda like the Beatles when they broke       up....Lennon/McCartney        were great together ...not so hot separately. The same goes for Frank when he       was with the original MOI. I don't know what happened but he just seemed to       be better when he had that whole group of guys around him than his "I'm the       STAR" BS.              Plus...what is *wrong* with working in a gas station? I have more respect for       anyone who works for a living at *ANY* job than some jackass living off the       system. Who would you rather hang around with?              But then, this brings us back to the never ending question that FZ's slow       decline started with his being pushed off the stage by that psycho. If he       just could have continued with Flo & Eddie all would be fine with the world       today! But then.....it's all        Bush's fault!              The OLD Geezer              ND: Southern Tier 2X IPA       NP: ZA- FZ              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
