I thought I'd add this tidbit since no one else seems to have noticed. When
Madness broke up, two of them (songwriters-forgot the names temporarily-damn!)
went out and formed a band with some women from California. This band is
none other than...(drumroll please)...Voice of the Beehive! I'm surprised that
no one has taken the time to read the fine print on the back of the cd! 2:^)
I haven't bought this cd yet, but I kinda like what I've heard so far.

I also noticed recently that there is a new (?) Madness cd out. I thought
that no one was going to continue the band when they broke up. Can anyone
confirm this?--YOl
