My Funny BTO Tale

Back in '86, we went to see Van Halen.
The opening act was BTO.
On "Takin' Care Of Business" Randy Bachmann played an extended solo.
Now, they were solid, and Randy is a good guitar player, but during that long solo I couldn't help but think "No offense Randy, but nine of these 20,000 people cane here to hear YOU play guitar."
I couldn't help myself.
