 Yeah, I tend to agree. Their hearts (Jaz's especially  ) did not  seem to 
be in it in Boston. But I put most of the blame 
on  fascist US "radio", that is more corporate controlled, and less  
independent than ever. THey only play the same
20 or "alternative" songs  over and over, and only brand new stuff, w/o 
touching anything outside of the  money-making
mainstream. Even in the 90s they were much  better.
