Well, how far away from Texas can we go? To wherever the hell it is the 'Furs came from, I guess. Seriously, what planet spawned them? Who told them that every song should have that weird-ass guitar sound and the scary hypno-vocals? How was it possible for them to write such great songs but not be gods?

I dunno, I just dunno. I do know that I loved "President Gas" and they don't play it here in what is otherwise a stunning performance with great sound. You do get a lot of other stuff though. I found myself spinning this about four times in a row yesterday. It's still in my head and that's a good thing. Check out the great 'Furs fansite and, natch, buy shit!

You're welcome and thanks for coming around again. Saw the Hamas comment. Seen the pictures of George Bush hanging out with so-called extremist Muslim leaders? In a political world, politicians meet - regardless of whether or not they want to - many people. And other people, people like you and me and Hamas too, say things about them. Whether or not we want them to do so. We needn't go into the he said-they said about this issue, because I'm sure we both know it. Anyways, thanks again.
