    It's a fair cop, Paul.  

    The Adams were, plain & simple, forgotten.  
    Too many genius genes in the Scotch broth
    to remember everybody.

    But Burns is another smokie altogether.  
    Any buffoon who can inspire Nikita Krushchev, 
    Jerry Salinger & half a million, maudlin, toe-churning,
    St Andrew's Night drunks has no place in *any* self-respecting 
    pantheon. 

    And incidentally, Paul.  Talking of drunks.  All this chat about
    Bruichladdich & Highland Park & Glanmorangie & so on.
    All very couthy & jovial.  I remember THAT feeling very well.

    But it's ten years now since I stepped off that particular 
    Highland Express - leaving the *other* Scots psychiatric genius 
    to travel on alone to his Great Couch in the Glen.  Which is why 
    HE doesn't get a mention either.
