Liam	Re: OZZFEST 2000 BOGUS... There's been absolutely shed loads of articulate, well-played, intelligent and musical rock in the last five years. Trouble is it doesn't sell very well, so you won't get to hear too much of it on the radio/TV/MTV (at least not here in the UK). As far as I can work out Bivouac, Nilon Bombers, Addict, Summercamp, etc. etc. all disappeared due to lack of interest. None of these were particularly "piss off the straights", but maybe you were so busy moaning about how it's not like it used to be that you forgot to get your arse down to the record shop and see if there was anything good about. It will get worse - so why not do something about it and support the good stuff? There are actually competent bands out there, but they haven't got much of an audience anymore. Liam
