Bruce:

You're safe there. And a Who fan will be especially interested, because
while the History Of British Rock CDs are great, they are mostly the
Beatles-influenced material...whereas this stuff seems to be more
Who-influenced. And it's definitely mostly Mod.

They DO mention a N III in the book.

Well, I guessed that much.

Hey, I made it through the cheesy cheerleader thing the Beach Boys had when
I saw them (late 80's).

I want this info as well, should anyone have it. Hell, that's worth making a
website for. Of course, that he's evil is a given...

Jeff:

Who gets to decide my morals anyway? Who's to say The Who aren't completely
and utterly morally correct? THAT is what a Micropublican would do.

I'd say Kiss is more in this catagory. Pete's songs are too sensitive to be

Alan:

You believe what you want to believe, but you don't have to live like a
refugee (unless you've lost your job due to the Bush economy). I think Pete
was certainly angry, but even if using a rushed judgement he was very
perceptive in that judgement...as someone "entitled," Bush and his people
didn't consider ownership of someone's intellectual property but instead
just used what they wanted to, and in the wrong context as well (but that
reflects their lack of intelligence more than the lack of integrity in using
the song in the first place).

> But corporate profits are down.  Doesn't that warm your heart?

No. I don't want the economy to suffer on any level, as it does whenever a
Micropublican is elected Prez (at least in the last 40 years).

No, they can no longer use gasoline prices to "persuade" the public its in
their best (if extremely short term) interests to give over the Alaska
drilling rights (seems it's a dead issue now that Jeffords followed his
conscience). The link does exist, however...a quick glance at who was the
major contributor to the Bush/Cheney campaign makes that obvious, and they
weren't spending that money for no reason...not in THIS universe, they
weren't!
