[AGL] technicolor fallout

[Michael Eisenstadt]

John,

I am listening to the clip you pointed us to. There
were 3 snippets of cuts from the album. John Henry
is the first and that is the one I believe i heard on
John Aeli's program. I think they are lame but then
again I think Springsteen is kind of lame anyway.
Maybe not as lame as Pete Seeger - they play his
cover of John Henry before Springsteen's. YMMV.

Mike
