I kind of went over this a few times.  What is his basic premise of how Paul saved classic rock?  I couldnt quite get it.

Just that 1989 was a year that saw many classic rock artists come back strong, but that "Flowers In the Dirt" was perhaps the strongest of these.

Thanks Mervap.  That premise never occurred to me.  I'll buy into to it somewhat.  How bout you?

I'll buy a dollar's worth......what Paul might have saved more so was his solo career, which had flagged a good bit. Having said that, I rather enjoyed "Press To Play".
