Io've heard it was exactly like that; I think I'd've only been a fan insofar as
it got me in good with their female fans in my age group.

If that was your goal, you had it made in the shade, eh?

I don't imagine a lot of longterm relationships arising out of such an
exlitation of fan delerium, which of course, greatly appeals to a certain type
of male.

Oh well, some thing for everyone.  I didn't really like their earlier stuff;
more from later, when John got more deep & mellow.. .
