And indeed, the studio appointment to record Operator came when the group was fresh from a tour. They brought the bandstand energy with them. Voracious" is ...

The ideals of promise and hope, and the desire to create a better world and drive out the darkness, need not be fueled or forwarded by the extraordinary. As George Takei, the legendary actor-cum-activist once noted in referencing the individuals who provided succor during the horrors of the Japanese-American internment camps of World War II, it's often the ordinary heroes" who light the way.
