Lest anyone think there is no B&S connection to T. Rex...  our little batch 
of B&S admirerers in this area might never have been captured by them had 
someone in our local cd store not been a T. Rex fan in his youth.  When IYFS 
came into the store, he noted the label name and said, "Ah ha!  What is this 
Jeepster thing?  Could they be like T. Rex?  Will I be carried back to the 
days of my platform knee-high boots?"  Instead of a trip down some Memory 
Lane of big-hair and mascara, he was awestruck dumb by our mellow popsters -- 
and accosted everyone who came through the shop door, forcing them to stand 
at the counter and have a listen.  

In thanks, we've all built shrines to the various gods of hair-care products 
and rat-tail combs in our homes -- although there have been difficulties with 
the flammability of aerosol cans and candles from time to time.

Actually, I always thought T. Rex was an american band until I saw a special 
on them on VH-1 while in London.  They seemed awfully amercian, somehow.
