Here, let me help stretch your arm so's to make patting yourself on the 
back a bit easier:  <yank>  <snap>

Oh dear, I seem to've broken your arm.  Now how will you straighten your
halo?

Once again you're confusing subjectivity and objectivity.

You think the lyrics are trite or the music?  You completely ignored my
comment about the music, a fact I find interesting.  Don't you agree that
a large part of the power in any such piece is the synthesis between the
music and lyrics, the sum of which is far greater than the parts?

Nope, I didn't say that.  I said that Natalie Merchant spends too much of
_Blind Man's Zoo_ explaining to us just how much She Cares.

And yet you've managed to refrain from cataloging them here for us.


>I think that might not be the way you meant to express this.

Nope, I said exactly what I meant.  You took the comment out of the
context of Natalie Merchant and _Blind Man's Zoo_ and applied it globally.

BTW, on a completely different subject, glad to hear you're enjoying
_Warpaint_ so much.  Come join us on Ecto, the Happy Rhodes mailing list.
