[net.religion] WHAM video

I have lately been over-exposed to WHAM's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"
and can not help but notice the "CHOOSE LIFE" shirts worn by the band
members.  Is there some meaning here that I am missing?  I have tried
to listen to the lyrics, but I've had about as much luck as when I
tried to find the "hidden meanings" in "Dance Hall Dance".  Any spec-
ulation will be appreciated.

I was in London a couple of months ago and the CHOOSE LIFE shirts
big over there (they are just startint to appear in the trendier punky
stores here, along with the "FRANKIE SAY %s" shirts). The kids in England
are even MORE upset about nuclear war then we are, since they have
all those missles, etc., parked in their back yard. So the shirts are both
a political statement and a reflection of current fashion.

Talk about an uninspired song and video!  It makes POP sound
like musak.  WHAM has a more exciting name than sound!

Ugh!
