I'll keep it rolling then. Question. Saw that the Slightly Stoopid show out at Rechter has been sold out for a while. Couple this with the love for the cover band Badfish, and that's some serious love for a musical styling that's more than a decade past its popularity. What's your take on why that Sublime/West Coast Reggae scene has stayed so strong?

Actually, I have question as well Sam. What is Baja doing for its last night? And which night is its last night? Friday, Feb 29 or Sat, March 1.

As the reigning 1000th comment poster and winner of many free cd's, I will be up to the challenge of posting #2000. By the way, Sam, only 1 of the 6 cd's has sucked. Thanks again for the freebies, still listening to most of them!

Please tell me that the Steve Hefter CD is the one that sucked.
