 RL> Where's the "snide thinly veiled insult?" Does it have something to
 RL> do with your favorite echo? Is this a private joke or something else?

Far from a joke, and I'm not going to try to figure out what the guy's game is. 
 He's gone, let's move forward.  Long and short is that he's been an opponent 
in other echos, but the problem is that this is LYRICS and not those other 
echos.  Feel free to drop me a line in netmail if you'd like to continue the 
conversation.  Or drop the other guy a line to figure out what his problem is.

 RL> I heard of Cream but not Peter Brown. Just Bruce, Baker and
 RL> Clapton.  So I learned something from this post. Why do you want to find
 RL> Brown??

The discussion started when I asked a question about Cream's "Deserted Cities 
of the Heart."  Peter Brown was something of a part-time member of Cream in 
that he was involved with a lot of the lyrics writing, and he's got co-author 
credit on the song in question with Jack Bruce. The other gentleman provided 
some links to some websites where the lyrics were in conflict with what I 
thought I was hearing.  No problem, maybe I'm wrong about that, but I mentioned 
that sometimes the web sites themselves are wrong (there are some boo-boos in 
the lyrics on www.black-sabbath.com, for example, and believe it or not, that's 
not a band-sponsored site), and you have to go to the source.

 RL> What about your tag? What's that all about?

"Fish he got a hook in his throat, fish he got problem."  It's from a great 
song by Genesis, called "Dodo."  There's no super-secret hidden meaning there. 
No Teamsters, no LBJ, no Mafia, no Castro, no grassy knoll.
