  Good point, Rich.  I sometimes get in trouble for slagging people
like Jagger and Thorogood.  I have little use for either one of them.
In particular, I think Mick Jagger has to be the single most over-
rated singer in musical history!

  However, I've got to admit that there are other singers and players
out there who are just as lacking in technical skills, and yet I like
them because of something aspect of their sound or style.   Go figure.
I guess it's a totally subjective thing.
