What ABOUT them?

The original thread this spun off of afforded the occaisional glimpse of a lot of good oral history (though not with the comprehensive focus that made the Merlin Banjo thread's chronicle of the Chicago scene so enjoyable a while back) and got a few old friends back in touch with each other.

This one seems to alternate between those who think big means cataloging sales figures and those shouting "Fat, fat, the water rat!".

Is somebody actually going to take this somewhere comparable to the original and discuss these people?
