	10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting. There was still in early 80s continuity w/ CounterCulture, & a wondering of what / which Style & Culture might emerge...There were still maybe Labels headed by people interested in Music - & soon there'd be MTV & transition into now in which beancounters run everything??...

	11:11am Cecile: that I agree with.
	11:12am Planet Tyler: A friend of mine sang/screamed a lot - nothing like Jim's intensity though - and ended up tearing his throat. So how does Jim still do it...???
	11:13am Cecile: Wig! I knew John Burke from that band as a kid.
	11:13am Cecile: well, a teen.
	11:14am Jack Mello: cool, cecile!
	11:14am Cecile: Well, I dunno. John might have had a lot of throat surgery over the years, or just knew how to take care of his voice. It is a mystery.
