Jim, you have to keep up. Everyone knows the prince of peace wants the US
to kick the holy shit out of Islam, that "Christian"= pro war,
pro Bush, pro guns, anti-gay, pro conservative neocon agenda..

'Where you been man? That's sooo...pre 9/11.

Doug makes me want to go back to Newage.
Weird isn't it, that Enya doesn't make public appearances,
play out behind new releases, and still manages to sell an average
of 10,000,000 per release?
Enigma...ditto, around 20,000,000 in 3 cds...add in Secret Garden,
Kitaro, Vangelis, John Tesh and Yanni, and you're likely looking at
more sales than the entire prog industry, including Yes and KC.
Do you know there's Live365 newage stations that boast over
140,000 LHPM? That's more than some small broadcast stations.

I have to question if it's that we're not interested in music that
challenges us to think, but rather that we're so drained of energy
at the end of the day in this 60 hr. work week, caffeine-fulled
pressure cooker society, bombarded by images and stories of war and
death on a daily basis, that we're not inclined to look for another
challenge in our music...?
"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast"...I did enough
thinking at work.
