This coming from an industry where you'd assume an A&R man's work responsibilities and problems range from drugs and alcohol abuse situations to creative stagnation and ego- maniacs. I'd think any A&R man in his right mind would jump at the chance to sign B&S, even with the band being so daring as to exercise their right to do what they choose rather than be directed around by someone with "experience" in the business. the general lack of gigs and new records. >> Okay, now Tigermilk came out in the summer of 96, which means the band hasn't even reached the official age of two. They've put out two lp's and enough ep's to equal a third. And album three may very well be in our hands by this summer. Perhaps we are letting our love of B&S override our patience.
