[Heeplist] Too Late to Hate

[Bob Winward]

I use that word Hate because that's the title of his new CD. 
Next thing I know you're going to say, John Sloman wasn't suited for Heep either!  :-) lol
Wish I had a dollar for every time this was argued on the list over the years. The hottest topic is usually Bernie versus Byron.
