You're only encouraging him to demonstrate to me what it is you people type about him. Frankly, it's starting to frighten the children. Thank you." Speaking of Kathleen Beller... did she ever win that "Am I Bitchy Or Not" or whatever it was website voting thingie that someone posted here a couple of months ago? If I remember correctly Wynonna Rider was the person she was in line to dethrown or something. I wonder how many time Thomas secretly voted? Crackers (Presser!?

I couldn't agree more. Therapy/Growth was the first B-Side I'd ever heard by Thomas, having purchased the 7" vinyl record sometime in the mid-eighties at the local record trader. The song conjures up dreamy images with lyrics like, "I was dreaming of a life on the farm. My friend Rover, and a pipe in my hand.". It also has more serious connotations in the verse where Thomas seems to be espousing his personal views on a particular relationship, "And I ain't gonna spend my time with you if time is so important. And I ain't gonna worry over you, lending a resistance to the game. But you won't find me bending over to justify existence, while working on a weakness. And I don't want to know the secrets of the universe." That "relationship" doesn't necessarily have to involve another person, either, as it could be about Mr. Dolby battling personal demons of some sort. Musically it sounds like a precursor to songs like "The Flat Earth" and "Screen Kiss" with its lush soundscapes and samples. A true B-Side gem. - -Dabbitt _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V6 #290 ***************************
