I would agree that Santiago is more likely the missing link, but I would disagree with your assesment of song writing chops. For one, Kim heavily influenced Frank's writing. You can definitely tell whenever you listen to a Breeders song compared to FB solo effort. But the more interesting x-factor here is who has cleaned up their heroin addictions? The Deal's have. A big unknown on Joey. FB definitely HASN'T!

should be a good show one way or another.
