I've only heard the Seymour Stein about twice but I'm sure I can remember some lyrics about 'flying home alone' and it being kind of sad. So I thought (especicially with the alliterative name) he was fictional but based on a real guy. Now I know he's real I was thinking maybe Stuart just had some brief meetings with the guy, liked the name and used him as a sort of template or something. just a thought... cheers, neil PS Maybe if he'd heard of Lenny Waronker he could have used that too...They both sound the names you would pick if you wanted to create a fictional record label boss. -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
