Perhaps some animosity exists as a result of shows GFR was second bill to TYA. Farner was fond of saying that he "blew (the headliner) out of the water" or "kicked (the headliner's) a$$" whenever GFR was opening for other bands. Hearing that time after time during a long tour could become quite annoying...

Okay, let's explain seriously. It isn't that I think Farner and/or GFR are awful...I just really think they were greatly overrated. Musical taste is personal and Farner and band never did it for me. And what I really don't get, and what fries me just a bit, is that Farner is often mentioned as an equal of Alvin's...and it just ain't so. Years ago, there was an internet poll for the greatest most underrated guitarist - Farner came in first and Alvin was a distant second. really?!

LOL, Don! But enough about Narc Farmer, already! So...how many naughts ya got in that pine o' yourn, eh, Mr. Tree? Well, well, if I were younger, I guess I could still be a cherry tree. Then again, a tulip tree at any age is always good, heh heh. Some might go ape for me as a monkey-puzzle tree. Some might just stay puzzled. I'd sooner not be a mere fir piece. So I think I'll be a graceful willow tree, but not a weeping one, if it's oaky with yew. :-)
