Peter T. - In regards to your comments on "heros"...yes, I tend to agree with you. Adolf Galland was one of the greatest German aces of World War II, having shot down around 150 aircraft. A few years back he was asked by some interviewer at a gathering of ex-WWII pilots (from both sides) how it felt to be a real live hero of the war. Galland's curt reply was: "I never knew any heroes. Only those who survived and those who did not." He was obviously not enamoured of either the glories of war or the label of "hero".

Nonetheless, we all have our heroes on some level or another, and they change sometimes as the years go by and our ideas change. Musically speaking, Rick is one of mine, although I would not depend on him to fix my car or stain the deck! :-)
