Re: (TV) Hell v. Lloyd



Never did rip into Lloyd.

> Why would JPG rip into Lloyd because he was a heroin addict simply because he has a low opinion of Hell.  Unless I'm missing something, the whole point is that JPG believes certain untalented hacks or one trick ponies are held in too high of esteem by fans and that the heroin chic might have something to do with that.    While Lloyd may have been a junkie for a while, there should be little  dispute that he is also a tremendous talent who has "been through a field of fire" and lived to be relevant and significant right now--something no one can say about Hell with a straight face!  I think the real point is that Hell is a hack and I don't disagree with that point.  I do, however, disagree with JPG's suggestion that Arthur Lee was a three chord wonder with little talent.  Arthur Lee was brilliant.  So, I agree with the larger point, and agree with its particular application to Hell but disagree with it's particular application to Arthur Lee.  And, Mr. C, I don't think there is !
