[bomp] Competition Coupe

["Rocky Serkowney" <rocky.serkowney@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Hey Jeff,

Don't feel bad.  No offence taken by anyone I'm sure.  We know and respect
how you feel about competition in the scene, but you have to realize that
hailing some new band as "the best" in someone's humble opinion isn't meant
to be taken literally.  It's only a way to send a shout out to like-minded
garage enthusiasts that something is very appealing and well worth checking
out.

Now, on the other hand, I'm willing to bet that my Beatle Boots are indeed
pointier than yours.  However, this doesn't detract from the fact that "On
Fyre" may well have been the *besst* album of 1984!

And BTW, we caught Lyres last May at Asbury Lanes and really dug the show!

Keep rockin',
Blind Lemon Squirrel.
