I certainly agree with your last statement helio old boy, and having thought about your post, I can see elements of a painful puberty going on here as well.
Certainly when thinking of Bush it is not difficult to imagine an oversized petulant child who has been given too much power and too little lessons on restraint by parents who have somehow confused infusion of gifts with the giving of true love, which teaches self restraint and self discipline.
However, here in America, the MTV/ADD culture, we do not reckon time the same way you do in Europe, and may unfortunately be in our middle age, having burned the candle at both ends and given twice the light in half the time.
Or perhaps a little of both. Or perhaps the current crop of leaders who seem intent on leading us straight to Mt. Meggido are an anomaly, and things will stabilize before we become terminal.
Meanwhile, I will "pick up my guitar and play....just like yesterday"
Please do the same with your drums. :wink:
btw I did not notice any audiobytes on your site. I'd love to hear some. Tool and Black Sabbath, well said......btw how do you like Porcupine Tree?
