I wonder if any other Americans had as much trouble with the line "A4
pushers, you're all just cushions" as I did. Initially, I had no idea what
it meant. When I first visited London, I noticed there was a road called
the A4, so I assumed an 'A4 pusher' must have been a supporter of building
the road (seemed logical). Then I found out A4 is the British term for
letter size paper and it made a lot more sense!

On the subject of liner typo's, the lyrics in my first version of Tommy (c.
1980 LP) contained the line "your boy won't be a more no more." I still
can't help thinking it when I listen to Acid Queen.
