     Another one that seems to have gotten lost in the Zone...  I re-send.

     Glad that Captain Beefheart and I have made you all so happy...

     Well, now that he's revealed to me that the noble Steelhead trout 
     has been downgraded to--arghh! (he says)--humble salmon status, I 
     confess that, for me, the mighty Steely's glamour has gone a bit soft. 
     (As I told him, Salmon Mask Replica just doesn't fly as an album 
     title.)
     
     However, I must protest!  "Anti-Steelmeister?"  Ne-vah!  Punster Chris 
     just can't resist those eye-rollin' groaners, obscure allusions and 
     dubious in-jokes, is all.  I'm a regular riot, Alice.  Steely can take 
     it.  (I think.)
