Why don't make some signs saying "Doug >Alan is a jerk!" and try stapling them to the ceiling above your bed >and.... > "Narrow mind would persecute it" Douggie, Let me say a few things here, ok? 1) You do have musical taste. There. Now, will you listen to the rest of this? 2) How can we treat you seriously when all you do is pick on some minor subtopic of the jist of the conversation? I can't wait to read about how I misspelled something in this. Better yet, tell me where I show that you're such a jerk. It's too late, you've already done that above (taken verbatim, for your info). 3) I like Kate Bush, but I just don't like to find that 3/4 of the net.music messages relate to KB. 4) There is no point 4 5) Some people don't like KB, and there's nothing you can do to change that. Bear with me during the following psuedo-analogy: Suppose you hate Tibetan goat cheese-making music for some specific reason. How much pro cheese-making material do you want to read? Not much. I say the same is true for the KB discussion, and I think a lot of people have reached the KB saturation point. 6) Notice that this is not just name-calling. Yes, there is some, but I try to put some intelligence behind it (what's that Doug, I didn't? Oh, oh well. I'm sure you'll tell me). 7) Just to provide you with evidence of what a fool I must be, let me tell you some of the groups I quite like: B-52s, DEVO, Laurie Anderson, REM, 'til Tuesday, {Emerson, Lake and Palmer}, Tomita, Vangelis, Beatles, Ramones, Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, and Gary Numan. Go ahead, Doug (or anyone else). Run your spelling/grammar checkers on this. Find fault with what I have to say. Show the whole net what you're made of. I really don't give a dam (the ancient coin, not the swear word). -- Jonathan D.
