In addition to being a KaTefan, I'm also (or should I say "was) a VicKie fan. Your comments have always been enjoyable and insightful reading, Vickie. And, IMHO, free from blatant and/or subtle "flaming" too often found in net postings. But the above statement, again IMHO, is an uncool statement from one such as yourself. I also support Sinead's right to forego the US national anthem before her concert, but that doesn't necessarily make it a "STUPID" song. For some, The Star Spangled Banner is a very moving song. I may not agree with some of those people that maintain the song should be sung before every public gathering, but I also don't downplay the song's value, in consideration to their feelings. Before everyone starts flaming me, I'm not a "fascist fundamentalist". I'm a "card-carrying" Democrat, I disagree with the idea of a flag-burning law, and I support NEA funding for ALL projects, regardless of content. I just don't agree with belittling the views/feelings of others. Probably because I don't much like it when others belittle my own beliefs. Dave Nadler (David.Nadler@Dayton.NCR.COM)

Just because a song does not agree with your particular beliefs or opinions does not make it "stinky" or "stupid" to others. Who appointed you to be the musical conscience of this newsgroup? How many songs on your "playlists" have not been agreeable to all of the readers on this net, all of the time? Yet, noone has called your particular likes and dislikes "stupid". You owe some big-time apologies on this one! Perhaps we should take a cue from your heroine Sinnead, and have a Vickie boycott on this newsgroup until you do.... Bob

This isn't rec.music.apologies! I'm sure that what Vickie said was just tongue-in-cheek, or at least not intended to be malicious. I'd prefer to hear an apology from Sinead - I thought her actions were just a bit too arrogant, IMHO. Anyway, as far as music: if you like the sound of a digeridu (which Kate herself seems to), there's a band called "Outback" who have an album out called "Baka". It's performed by 2 guys, one who plays acoustic guitar, the other plays a digeridu, and one or the other plays some African percussion instruments, too. It's fairly upbeat and almost danceable stuff. No vocals - it's kinda fusion-ish. Also, what about the rumors that Kate's buddy Peter Gabriel is about to release a new album? Ed
