But Terry Kath should have been his number one rival. Kath may have been part of a huge mainstream act, but without him, the others may not have gotten the recognition they deserve. Before Chicago, rock in that area, from everything I have been told, was very obscure compared to those from both coasts, especially the west coast. Chicago made it possible for all that followed to have a chance they may otherwise not have gotten. And, I take exception to Chicago being called a bunch of "jazzbos".
