Fan Mail
Hey guys, I'm Dan Fucinaro from Omaha, NE. Just finished the Bad Co episode...loved your comments and I have great memories of that album. My personal fave song on it is Ready For Love. I have enjoyed your podcast--you pick some killer albums-- and it keeps me going at work. I was a senior in high school when "The Firm" album came out. I was a Bad Co fan and a Led Zeppelin super fan, so my expectations were sky high. Boy was that band a let down for me. I actually remember TRYING to like the album. I will say tho, me and a friend saw their Omaha show which was great despite the weak material. Best, -Dan
