TOO DRUNK TOOOOOOO FUCK! just awesome. > > Hoping for your reform, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There *IS* music out there (not just poems put to a rythmic beat) that holds itself up by its musical properties alone. Kate Bush (in my opinion) writes such music. The fact that she can put together fantastic lyrics (which *is* second when writing music) to match such music is an amazing feat in itself. If you want meaningful "lyrics" (not that there aren't any in music) you could just as easily read poems, or philosophy books. You might want to try that before you flame an entire group on their tastes in music. And, BTW, it's none of your bussiness. > Ian Damage > Co-founder Greystanes League of Satan ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I thank you for your concern though. Please, get a life.
