Wow, I wonder what exactly inspired today's diatribe. I must admit, I thought San Francisco Walk was another recording by Karl, but I guess it was Rick, after all.
Of course the press is going to focus on the clowny boy wildly waving his muppet arms, rather than the comparatively boring gaunt man hidden behind the desk pushing buttons. We know better though.
As my imagination ran wild over the past week, wondering what would happen if Rick's illness were more severe, I realized that despite Karl's recent musings about bringing in new people to take over Underworld, it simply wouldn't be the same without either of them. It's BOTH of them, working together, inspiring each other, that have created the amazing music that touches all of us here and brings us together.
(BTW, -1, in the second to last paragraph, you get to read "intimated" again.
