   That never happened with FZ as far as I'm concerned, but:   
      
   - I used to love Dylan - both the early stuff and what he did with   
     The Band (yes, I even have the a copy of The Royal Albert Hall concert,   
     slow clapping, yells of "Judas" and all) and still listen to those   
     albums, but I haven't listened to anything he did since he got religion.   
      
   - Ditto Santana. I saw him live when he came to Bristol on the Abraxas   
     Tour and that was one of the best rock concerts I've been to - right up   
     with FZ at his best - despite an opening set by some shitty group   
     called "Earth, Wind and Fire" who tried to make up for their music with   
     flashy stage antics. However, I haven't listened to anything after   
     "Lotus" and haven't wanted to either.
