You churl. OED's *real* name is ANDREW. Really, now. This really is
degenerating into precisely the sort of aesthetic food fights that
drove everyone out of net.music (where Marcel Simon is even now
describing Bebop in lucid English). In future, please be sure that
you post at least one real article about music and include sophomoric
little jibes and japes at the end of your serious posting.

Is the ;-) necessary? Naah......

SERIOUS INFORMATION-LADEN PORTION....

The new U2 release date has been moved to 16 March for the Joshua Tree.
The snazzy black and gold announcement poster in my local record store
has a number of photographed visages on it who appear to be fresh off
the set of "Once Upon a Time in Nicaea." These are no-nonsense faces.
I wonder what it will *sound* like.... If any of you hears an advance
from it, remember that I welcome those subjective opinions....

"As one who sees within a dream, and, later/the passion that had been
imprinted stays,/but nothing of the rest returns to mind,/such am I-
for my my vision almost fades/completely, yet it distills within/my
heart the sweetness that was born of it."(Dante/Paradiso,XXXIII 58-63)
