Don't these people ever listen to these songs normally before backwards? I am not disputing that the brain may be capable of reversing the phrases subconsiously and creating some influences. I find it quite amusing to read many of these theories when I find very few people who can listen to a song normally and quote the proper words. I have seen band members listen to a song for several plays and argue amoungst themselves as to the actual words. Dave Burris ihlpf!burris BTL - Naperville
