Wow, Dave you seem to be so hard on yourself, probably because of your dad. I'll tell you that I bought the Beat's first album in 1980 here in Toronto. It had just a positive impact on myself and all of my friends at high school. Your albums were at every party and every school dance. And now my kids 13 and 16 have fallen in love with your music.
You've given the world a great gift. Thanks!! I just noticed you are coming to Toronto with Squeeze. I'll have to buy tickets! Last time I saw you guys it was at the Police Picnic!!
