| No real offencse taken, guys--it's just easy to see Jim and his followers as eternally 25! No, Desmond has done his share of hack work, no doubt, but I believe he co-wrote 'You Should Be High' with Billy Squier on 'Tale of the Tape'; I know he co-wrote 'Stronger' and I think one other from Billy's 'Hear and Now'--another sign of old age is my failing memory! I was fond of the stuff he did with Aerosmith and most of the Bon Jovi offerings weren't too bad. I didn't think 'Lover Again' was that bad off of 'Secret Dreams', either. It's harder to access my old liner notes with those damned jewel cases, so I know there were others--never Ricky Martin, however and like I said, Desmond has certainly had some forgettable moments! But overall, I like him. Cheers!
