My bad! I must have missed that post. I just know we've 'butted heads' over the years regarding the 1990-1994 years, so I assumed that was aimed at me lol. I agree with you that Rick and Billy were absolutely talents which probably weren't given the fresh page they deserved. Rick's solo song "Intuition" is proof alone for me, and shows where the band really could have gone with him as a member. Billy, to me, however is always going to be a bit of an odd fit in my eyes. That's not to denigrate him at all... it's just how he fits in the context of the band, past and present members and their combined music included. But again, he and the 16 other members of the band past and present, are what keeps the Mac marching on (well, hobbling these days... I'm just waiting for them to Hoveround on LOL).
