Mudshark,

I saw the Mothers on that tour in '71, and saw the Mudshark number, live--and for once, the "Live" album caught the energy and excitement of the show--and of course, as a long time Turtles/Flo&Eddie Fan, the Mothers version of "Happy Together" was one one the highpoints of my life! Shallow Woman, you better dig up a copy of that album, so you hnow what you're getting in to!

As to your marriage, only you know how bad it really is, but the signs aren't good--if you are only married because you afraid that you are too old to be interesting to women, forget it--there are a lot of interesting and attractive women out there who are unattached, from ages 17 on up(I won't say anymore about that)--I am about the same age as you, a musician, chronically broke, with bad credit(my 2nd wife put my name on her student loans when I was unconscious in the hospital, and opened dozens of charge accounts in my name) and I have plenty of inquiries. I am careful not to make promises that I can't keep, which is hard to manage sometimes, but I don't mind sleeping alone--
