*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH JIM KERR, AGAIN ***

Ooops!  In my article on Simple Minds new album _Once Upon A Time_, I
made a comment about its lack of semi-religious songs, completely
ignoring "Sanctify Yourself," one of the tracks.  Sorry about that..
BTW, does anyone know why SM does these vaguely Christian songs? Are
the band members Christians?

(no, it's not going to be "Ann Muir Thomas is to Simple Minds as Doug
Alan is to Kate Bush."  At this point, I've just discovered Simple
Minds, and am trying to find out more about them...)

BTW, did anyone notice that Rush's new single lifts some U2 guitar
riffs almost completely intact?  Or that Simple Minds seems to be moving
closer to U2 in style?
