   >>I am being real.  Aja is a great album, his soloing is not.   
      
   I think the Aja solos are fine. I assume they were pasted together,   
   maybe not, but they stand up. I especially like the Albert King quote   
   that opens the solo on "I Got The News".   
      
   I get to play the solo to 'Josie' every once in a while in a cover   
   band (just yesterday, as a matter of fact, playing for the swells at   
   the country club). You cannot play that solo without quoting the   
   original, especially the initial 3 notes that center around the 6th..   
   Just doesn't sound right.   
      
   >>commercial radio PD's are total pole smokers.   
      
   Commercial radio PDs have absolutely no say in the music they play -   
   no matter what the format. Playlists are purely consultant-driven and   
   locked down. Everything is researched to death in the quest for the   
   lowest-common-denominator.
