The Jeep body parts vehicles never did give names to their cars, instead

consistently using letters and numbers to designate the coupes, sedans and the

SUVs. With the Jeep body parts Q45 being the flagship sedan, the Jeep body parts

found its place in the American market.The Jeep body parts vehicles never did give

names to their cars, instead consistently using letters and numbers to designate

the coupes, sedans and the SUVs.

I, too, have battled alcoholism. And I, too, am trying to quit smoking (again). You can knock it right out of the park, sir -- just look at everything else you've done in your life. I know you'll be able to kick cigarettes, as well.

Sorry for not commenting much lately -- been reading, but haven't been long on time. Plan on popping back in more often, though. :)

You're living proof that it's never too late to turn things around. Thank God you did! Many others are not so lucky, as you already know...

Heather Harris made a comment about your note "MAGIC BUS PART 2":

You glossed over a pretty large truth in your mission statement manifesto. Reunion bands frequently play better/faster/stronger than they did the first time out because oft times it's the first occasion any of them have played together without being wasted.

I'm glad you're writing, appearing on panels, lecutures and sponsoring in the future, like I'm glad you got that chance with DKT/MC5 along with all your other bands in between the past and now. But the MC5 of the fussilade of youth and changing the America of the 60's and 70's belongs to another era now, plus the cast is so diminished.

You couldn't have picked a better calling than helping other musicians with all your cred and character aplomb. I look forward to word on your 2010 music sponsorships.

P.S. I told my significant other that I'm happier with a live teacher than a dead rock star. It's a common tale ion our biz...

Feel free to post this or keep it to yourself...just free info.

My cousin was a cardiac nurse who smoked for over 40 years.

She quit using a fairly new drug named Chantix and mentioned it to me (on an off smoker for 30+ years)and my wife (smoker almost 50 years).

We persuaded our then-HMO to prescribe it to us and it made a big difference in the level of tension we had during the phase-out.

It works on one of those chemical key-receptor site relationships.
Chantix ties up the receptor sites that nicotine would fit into, so all you get from smoking is the actual taste/flavor/aroma of your Mr. Butts.

Unmediated by any pleasure/relief you would have gotten from the nicotine which now has no platform on which to perform, Mr. Butts taste can become un-acquired.

Serious advice from all 3 of us:
Disregard the Mfr's recommendation on when to set a target quit date.
They say do it before you start.
We say wait until you see how the drug and you get along and maybe then set a date. You can keep taking it until you find you're down to the point of smoking 1 or 2 per day and doing it a couple of drags per session. If you get to the point where it takes 3 or 4 sessions to finish one cigarette, you'll either be able to set a date or you'll be looking for some additional help (hypnosis?).

It isn't a 100% thing, but nothing much is in the medical game, and it's got the highest success rate of anything out there.

Write anytime for more info.

My husband and I have been smoke-free for three years. I smoked for about 20 years, and he smoked for 30. Getting a diagnosis of the beginnings of emphysema at the ripe old age of 45 was my wakeup call, and I couldn't be happier that we were able to quit. (Although I'd be lying if I said that there weren't times that I still miss it...just the occasional pang, but it passes quickly.)

If you want to know our plan, or need moral support for quitting, please don't hesitate to email me at Luvrte66@aol.com. If you kicked other habits, you can definitely kick this one!

All my best,
Beth

I arrived to late to make the photo that appeared on one of your album covers.
You were a decent snooker player and you took some of my money.
Had an offer to be a roadie when the band went to England. A guy named Cooksie went and was never the same.
It was a real treat to have seen you at the Grande and Gooselake.
