   They're all over the radio, which means they've been played millions of   
   times, just like all the other STALE material.

   Speaking of trios, mine played yesterday as planned, but as unplanned,   
   instead of two hours, it was only for one hour, and for once, I was   
   overjoyed with that because we only played half the set list, which just   
   happened to be what I had more or less thoroughly learned, and everyone   
   Loved it!   
      
   The reason for cutting our time in half - seems there were some even bigger   
   show-offs than Yngwie Malmsteen (and we still did two of his tunes anyway) -   
   a wrestling show in the classic '70s tradition had their ring about 30' away   
   from us, and as Alanis Morissette's lyrics, put it...isn't it ironic, don't   
   you think? ;)   
   I hope a lesson was learned there.

   I'm even lazier...didn't ride at all yet this year thanks to the oppressive   
   humidity.

   NICE!!! I'd rather have that one than the XR18!

   As in, Behringer, being a manufacturer of professional equipment, doesn't   
   intend it for use by Idiots, who would only mess it up ;)

   Careless Idiots. On analog equipment, they'd be grabbing things, twisting   
   knobs, pushing buttons, and changing things while waiting for their sound to   
   improve, even if it totally messes everything else up - par for the course.
