A bit more on Herbie da Great.I think HvK's greatest achievement was to somehow drag out his own 'OOZLUM bird event' for several decades!
Despite that it quickly became evident that that was what it was.
I kinda feel it started in the late '60's.
Yet some of his acolytes want to infinitely postpone that ultimate fwoop! When even they would have to face up to what's been going on, even though he's already mouldering.
And I am pretty certain I heard the final 'fwooP!' well before that.
But I wasn't really focussed on Herbie at that time, maybe I imagined it. ;-)}
OR
Maybe I was just as self absorbed at the time, too. ;-)}
