I heard on the radio that Steve Masters was going to make an appearance
tonight, so I went to meet him.  I introduced myself as the person who 
wrote that letter he read on the air, and we talked for a couple of
minutes.  He really likes the new album.

Then I went back to my car.  Ten seconds after I started the engine, 
Audio-Vidya announced on the radio that she was going to play "The
Sensual World"!  This is all-request Saturday night, and the song
was requested by a girl from Berkeley.

I'm glad I don't have to do *all* the work.  It's hard enough trying
to buy ten copies of an invisible single.

Now I know how you feel about redundancy, Jon.  Actually, I can't blame
you, Wade, but I posted essentially the same story about two months ago.

I'm glad someone agrees with me, at least.  But I won't say any more
about this topic.
