[Heeplist] Heeplist] No apologizes (translation)

[Bob Winward]

I get Igor's point now and I know many do not agree.  What he seems to be
saying is current Uriah Heep is a watered down version of the 1972 era Uriah
Heep, with only one original member left.  I got that from another recent
post where he says Trevor and Lee are gone.

Now I ask, is there anyone on the list that thinks current Uriah Heep is
better than the 1972 verison?  Ok, that is a rhetorical question as I doubt
anyone will say that.

The majority of us feel we are lucky that there is a version of Uriah Heep
that makes us happy and puts out great new music.  We celebrate the past,
yet embrace the "now"  (our Heep glasses are half full)

So Igor while you have a valid point, you continue to belabor such point
into ad nauseam.  Your help glass is half empty or maybe a drop left, lol
:-))  I do have a question, if they are so bad and so watered down and such
shells of their former selves, why are you here?  To celebrate the past and
reject the now?

One last question, do you have a band in mind that is playing now that does
live up to your expectations and that you are a huge fan of?  As some of us
over obsessed, pie in the sky Heep fans on the list?

Perhaps I should simply rephrase: Are you a fanatic of any current band?

Just aksing here, not trying to cause trouble, only trying to figure out why
you bash the current incarnation of Uriah Heep over and over on a list of
fans?  Are we to be college fraternity pledges who are naked on hands and
knees and every time get spanked, have to scream out "Thank you sir, may I
please have some more"?
