However, my comments have little to do with Mo's estimation of his own abilities and more to do with the comments of the legions of Mo fans on this list who declare him to be a "great" musician and/or a "great" singer. "Good" or perhaps even "better than average" might be appropriate . . but applying the word "great" to his abilities kind of cheapens the word, IMHO. > Doug - I'm sure you are very nice Don't be TOO sure, Maggie . , but would it hurt to say just one positive thing > about Mo?

Given the choice of "hanging out" with any of the three brothers, I suspect I'd have the most fun with Mo. However, that doesn't mean I buy into the "musical genius" label that a number of you have tried to attach to him.

Not being familiar with the shirt or Johnny Goudie, although I think I've heard of Fred Durst, I eagerly look forward to seeing your "blazing bosoms" (or anyone's bosoms, for that matter).

Barry & Maurice, while friendly, seemed = a little taken back by the mob or reserved (or perhaps had some other = stress going on, like some kind of family feud or fighting with Robert - = just guessing), while Robin seemed to be totally basking in it. While I = had a normal handshake with Barry & Maurice and talked a minute or so = longer with each (after the handshake), when I shook hands with Robin, = he held the handshake during our entire conversation and seemed very = eager to converse and hear everything I had to say. And at the VIP = party, Barry was out talking to us without any other family members or = entourage with him, while all the others stayed in the "tent" (I got = into the tent later, too, but they were gone by then). Just my 2 cents, = and again, these were a little crazy circumstances.

I read it, referring to Robin and Maurice, in a couple of articles and guessed that must be what it meant, but can't remember seeing it anywhere else. Perhaps the word's not used so much in that context in England.
