Flick On Your Lighters and Groove on the Light Show -- Not the Scoreboard

When a great rock band jams, there is precise collaboration mingled with improvisation, based on the rock-solid structure of a memorable tune. The individual musicians are never more part of their group than when their instrument leads the music.

When a mediocre rock band jams, it's a series of lengthy and increasingly pointless solos, each one disconnected from the other. In the final analysis, it's a lonely sound. Music without ideas.

Based on what I saw last night, the Miami Heat have a lot of Foghat in 'em. I wonder if they'll last as long as Blind Faith.
