The Song you are referring to is "Dry Your Eyes" co-written by
Neil Diamond and Robbie Robertson.  I do not know the lyrics and
they do not come with even the original pressing of the album on which it 
appears (my brother, a big Diamond head bought the album immediately 
upon it's release.)

There *is* a "Beautiful Noise" album music booklet with the complete music
and lyrics, including "Dry Your Eyes".  However, I have not seen it in a while.

"Dry Your Eyes"  is the last cut on the 1976 album,
"Beautiful Noise", produced by Robertson.  Many agree that "Beautiful Noise"
is Diamond's finest album and transcends Neil's occasional knack to be
kitchy.  "Beautiful Noise" is the story of Neil Diamond getting started in 
the music business and is not unlike Elton John's "Captain Fantastic and 
The Brown Dirt Cowboy" (1975)  which had a similar theme.

Sandra is from Germany.  She is a superstar in Europe, with over
half a dozen albums.  Unfortunately, almost all of her albums are only
available in the US from importers.  A friend of mine who does not
have USENET access is a big fan; he's showed me some video collections
of her.  In this country, I've heard "Around My Heart" on a Modern Rock
radio station on rare occasions, but that's about it.

Michael Cretu is Sandra's husband, so he is heavily involved with all
of her albums, producing most of them.  Although the album does not
mention it, Sandra is the female voice in Enigma.  Cretu felt that if
it had been mentioned, people would assume it was a Sandra album,
and he didn't want people to think of it that way.  In this country
there was no fear of that, of course, but in Europe it would be like
a side project of Madonna.  Everyone would think of it as a Madonna
album.

Both of the Animal Logic albums are excellent.. they're definitely pop
music, but the songs are top-notch and the vocals are great (most everything
is written and sung by Deborah Holland), and as you'd expect, the bass
(Stanley Clarke) and drums (Copeland) are incredible.

The second one is (II, with polar bears in the desert) a bit better than
the first one, more up-tempo and funkier... the first one (three dalmations)
is solid stuff, though. I highly recommend it to any police or pop music
fan in general.

Only if they *like* this song.  If you're gonna play psychological warfare,
you've got to go all the way.  Find a song they like, and play that for the
weekend.  Then not only have you ruined their auraul abilities, you've trashed
one of their favorite songs too.

I had to do this once, we went with a multi-pronged attack.  It consisted
of my bass rig (many speakers, 1000s of watts) pointing down, pumping out
'Brick House' over and over and over and over and over and..., a group of
us (earplugs provided by we gracious hosts, as well as plenty of refreshers)
bouncing golf balls on the floor for hours, dumping my friends (invited
especially for this disgusting habit) chewin'-tobbacy dribblings out our
window (thus, down theirs), etc.  Now, mind you, this was a college dorm,
so I had plenty of cohorts, and property damage was a goal, not a restriction.
They raised the white flag after one night.  Hell, we'd advertised for three
to our friends.  Wimps!

I have the UK CD of 'Disappointed'. The US CD has the "FBI mix" of 'Gangster'

there's loads of differences between the european original/european
remix/american versions of the track.  the european remix has a wolfman jack
sample in the opening seconds, f'rinstance.  the "magnetic genetic to move
your soul" rap varies between versions.  the sample that the band was sued
over was from a stock aitken waterman song and is barely noticeable.

did you know that almost all of that really funky drumming is programmed and
not sampled?  and that they had to lay the bassline down in two passes
because their sequencer didn't have high enough resolution to do the swing
notes?

Esquivel!  I've never run across anyone else who had ever heard of him.  Did

ok, real Quick.
Rave is not a type of music.
A Rave is a big(BIG) sometimes underground, these days not really, all

A lot of people call the music played at raves 'rave'music, but it
isn't. it's House, Techno, New Beat, or a host of other adjectives. 
They originated in Britain in 87-88 and are now everywhere. some are
little dancehalls with a strobe and 2 DJ's, some are 80,000 sqft
warehouses with Intellibeams and 10 dj's, and some are open fields with
