          Last night,while watching the L.A. Raiders trounce the San Diego
      Chargers,I saw an add for Death Wish III,a movie which should go down
      in the annals of cinema history as one of the greats,and guess who does
      the soundtrack!? That's right!!! An album,a world tour and a movie sound-
      track in one year!Not bad for a liquid-brained,washed-up guitarist who
      can't even stand on his own power!!! Christ,that watered-faced old man 
      has accomplished more in the last twelve months than most net-posters
      have since birth!!!


          Since this net is resplendent with guitarists whose mastery and
      comprehension of the instrument is far in excess of John McLaughlin's
      or Andre` Sequovia's,and since these enlightened guitarists feel com-
      pelled to point out Page's inadequacies,I'm going to pose a serious
      question;

          In "The Firm"'s big song "Radioactive",that worn-out guitarist based
      his mid-song solo on a repeated lick which reappears at the end of the
      song as well.Have any of you Larry Coryells figured that lick out yet?
      Do you even have the slightest inkling of where to begin trying to fig-
      ure it out? Please mail SERIOUS responses to this question to my account,
      preferably in Tab.Don't post,or I'll get flamed to death!! And if Dr. 
      Richard Rosen follows this article up to say that it doesn't make sense
      the consequenses will be horrendous!!!

                                                 As Rommel once said,
                                                    "many tanks!!",

Well, well let's think about this one for a moment...Larry, have you ever heard
the phrase "Quality not quantity"? I can think of several artists who have
done a lot in a short period of time but that doesn't gurantee quality--
usually it all turns out to be pretty blah (Yes Larry, I can think of
examples of groups that have done a lot of great stuff in a short period
of time--so don't bother saying "Well so and so put out x no. of thing
in a year and it was all great.--oh i'm sorry Larry--I guess I should
explain that I want you to fill in a group name for "so and so"--otherwise
you'll be bitching about me making references to obscure groups again :-))

Larry, I figured that out--it's not that difficult--I'll mail to you
about it. (No I'm not joking--I just have to remember it--it's been awhile
since I figured it out)

What it has to do with your posting is this: Larry, just because Page is
alive and well doesn't mean he's putting out quality music. I'll agree, Page
is alive and well in the music industry BUT, that doesn't mean he's alive, well
AND putting out quality music.

(The point of this posting Larry is that, who cares how much he's putting out--
if it's not good what does it matter??
