Not sure if you were joking, but just in case....

Generation X is the currently-in-style name for the twenty-early-
thirty-something generation.  Generation X is supposed to be very
idealistic and searching for a cause -- somewhat directionless and
unfocused.  Lots of these "heavy message" commercials (like the
Fruitopia ads) that toss around vague, upbeat, peace-and-love
soundbites are generally aimed at the "Gen X" viewer.

Personally, I think the whole thing is a bunch of hooey, and feel that if
anything defines my generation, it is a certian lack of definability
(probably because nothing "big" has happened that draws people
of a similar age together has happened in the last twenty years --
in America, at least) and a lack of a general philosophy.  This is, IMHO,
good.

Anyhow, Generation X was also Billy Idol's first band, and no, it
has nothing to do with the Frutopia ads.

Of course, if you were joking, smilies and all that stuff....

Gabriel was fantastic on Letterman last night!  Nice new version
of Red Rain, and news of a live "Secret World" CD to be
released next month.  Did Kate do any live appearances with him on
the Secret World tour?  I know she did appear a couple of times to
sing "Don't Give Up" with him on the So tour, but I haven't heard
anything regarding the last tour (I didn't even get to see it -- boo
hoo).  Fingers crossed for live Kate/Peter....

-- Gregg!
