   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.. .
