I'm surprised that Jon Drukman was the only one to follow up on this,
since it's been a long time since IED has set us all straight.

This was very welcome, Andrew, thanks.  I enjoyed your unmasking
of the truth behind the Times interview as well.

**** In other news:

Locally, KITS 105.3 FM ("Live 105") has been playing Eat The Music
every day since it came out.  I've even heard it more than once
a day.  The DJs seem to like it as well.

With all the criticism, one point that hasn't been mentioned about
this song is how catchy it is.  After I hear it, it stays in my
mind for hours.  If you didn't like it, I suppose this could be
a problem...

Are other US stations playing this song at all?  Has Rubberband
Girl been played on the air by anyone other than Jill Burkart???
