Well *I* was in my local NYC Tower this weekend and they had ~50 CDs
of TWS spread throughout the store but no HOL or anything else by
Bush.  Pity, because I would have bought HOL (or the Dreaming) but as
it was I couldn't find anything I liked enough to blow $15 on.  Maybe
I should go back to tapes and vinyl...

Have they made some decision about the song??  If you mean the decision
contained within the song, read the original (Camus, l'Etranger).
