I really hate it when people mess with food. You know, change the ingredients to make it cheaper or supposedly make it better for you. Bah. But some people in the US that make chocolate want to do just that--change the ingredients in chocolate so that it's cheaper to make. Who thinks this is a good idea? I certainly don't!

Here's why: the moment anyone got more power than the others, everyone else ganged up on that person. We basically fought to achieve some kind of equilibrium.

While we weren't robbing each other per-se, we were certainly making sure nobody had the upper hand.

I saw Roger Hodgson perform this song live many years ago in a small night club in Santa Cruz.
