as for the returned mail from David Grahame and AOL...aol allows up to 7 screennames on an account, that you can create and delete within seconds. I was spammed from this list regarding his new cd just like the rest of us, I suppose. but even if I had been interested, I'm in the vain of don't care, don't want to know. I can't imagine what he's so pissed off about to go to such great lengths....whatever....I've got better music to listen to. I for one, am happy to pre-order my Pernice CD and can't wait for it's arrival. now there's a guy who really appreciates his fans. Joe is one of the nicest people I've met! and last but not least, for die-hard R.E.M. fans like me, they've announced a fall US tour. a new song is available on the web site too. it's just a sample of a demo from the studio, but it's there for your listening pleasure! www.remhq.com and since I've been the freakish fanclub member, I get to buy tickets tomorrow instead of waiting until June when they go onsale to the public for the DC show! rock on, lauree __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
