Richard--does that mean it was all your FAULT??

There is an interestingly scored contemporary song called "Livin' on the Fault Line," which is not directly tied to Frisco in ought-six, but is mentally and musically interesting; I'll try to research singer & get back.

McPhee's book has good info. I just wish he didn't write so stream-of-consciousness. I don't give a rat's whether he was wearing cords or denims when he crossed the divide; but then, I'm not a Pepsi generation type dude.

"Put the Blame on Mame" would have a line or two about '06, but not the whole song.
