Hadn't realise Porcaro died.  Always thought the deep voice in the chorus of Roseanna that said 'you're crazy.' was funny.  Sort of an anti-dedication.  Regarding David's change of gender, all I can imagine is being the band's manager or publicist - you sort of expect stuff to come up, but of all things....well, I guess now they're gonna have a chick in the band...Hydra was one of the first albums that made me think music was good for something other than sing-alongs....that's mostly due to exposure - I was about 8 or 9 when it came out....lastly, this is not a plug or anything, but whenever I have to get something part-wise for the computer I go to pricewatch.com - it's cheaper than Best Buy/Costco/Circuit City/Blahblah even with shipping...
