John has another cold. He suspects that the delay in the release of the 10,000 Maniacs LP might be to polish it for the US market, adding little Dire Straits guitar flourishes etc, "Let's Hope So" he sarcastically says. Unfortunately that is the direction the band took which John commented on on later programmes.
