What makes you think this doesn't apply equally to W. Axl Rose? Don't 
give me an "Oh, no, Axl would never do that" number. Just because 
a group uses guitars in its product doesn't mean they don't take
shortcuts in the studio.

Oh, no!  Please don't go around making comparisons between modern-day Genesis
and Yes.  I assume you've heard such mixed fare as Big Generator, ABWH, and
Union.  Listen to those and then listen to modern Genesis albums like Invis.
Touch and We Can't Dance.  The Yes albums are more imaginative, more exciting,
and infinitely less predictable than Genesis.  Genesis was always a Yes
wanna-be even in the glory days of Lamb and Selling England.  To slag Yes in
order to prove Genesis' "growth" and "contemporary spirit" is to believe the
hype and ignore the sellout.

I saw the Violent Femmes on Dennis Miller rerun last week, and they
played this song which has been haunting me for the last six months.
The lyrics go something like "I like American music...".  Which
album is it off of, and is it a cover.  If so, who wrote the song, and
who originally recorded it.

   I beg to differ, Mr. No .Sig. Like I said, if you knew anything about Yes,
you'd know they're not in it for the money. The band members have said
repeatedly in interviews that the final cuts that made the Union album were
altered and edited significantly by the producers without the band's consent.
Rick Wakeman has said that he didn't even recognize his own keyboard parts on
the edited disc. But even with this, I can still easily see the band's desire
to continue making incredible music, and they proved this without a doubt on
tour. Wakeman has also vowed that the next recording will be a YES album, and
not an album put together by record company execs.

I don't know if the request for "Eve of Destruction" lyrics has been
filled, but somehow another verse came to me suddenly last night:

Don't you understand what I'm trying to say
can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today
If the button is pushed there's no running away
there will be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you, boy
{something like "it's bound to scare you, boy"
OR "it's not no game or toy"}

(I haven't heard this song in well over 20 years -- I'm surprised
I've remembered as much of it as I did!  If the full lyrics are
ever discovered, I'd appreciate them being posted.)

Aren't those guys great?
By the way, are you living in the past or is "Route 66" really their latest
single?  It was the B-side to "Behind The Wheel", which was released at the
end of December 1987 (for the thinking-impaired, that's over four years ago).

Actually I like their version, it's one of my favourite versions of this
much-recorded song.  The only thing is the fact that they're such a British
group--it sounds funny to hear them reciting all those US placenames.  Still,
it worked for the KLF...

It is directly connected to it. :-) It is the first single from said AoN
remix album, _The_FON_Mixes_. This is probably the first time I've seen an
import listed in any Billboard chart, even though it wasnot really *on* the
chart. (I know it was not a US pressing of the single because the label
attributed to it was China, which does not distribute records by itself in
the US.) A second single is already out, "Shades Of Paranoimia," remixed by
Carl Cox. It's a good album to pick up if you like rave music, but it's not
really AoN-ish, sadly. (But I like rave music, so I still like it.)

	Michelle Shocked has a song fitting that description called
"Anchorage" on her album "Short Sharp Shocked." It opens with the
lyrics:

	I took time out to write you, my old friend
	I walked across that burning bridge
	Mailed my letter off to Dallas
	But her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska

	And the chorus seems to go:

	Hey Shelle, you know it's kinda funny
	Texas always seemed so big
	But you know you're in the largest state in the union
	When you're anchored down in Anchorage

	Yeah, I know it doesn't scan terribly well, but hey, this is
folk, and it doesn't have to. Or maybe I have no rhythm. Whatever,
I hope this helps.

They have strange line-up. For those who haven't heard about them
I'll list it up:

Brad Roberts     : Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar
Ellen Reid       : Vocals, Keyboards, Penny Whistle
Benjamin Darvill : Harmonica, Mandolin
Dan Roberts      : Bass

They have no drummer in the band. It was the name that made be

time. A friend of mine set on their first and only up to know.
My first thoughts were that I got to get hold on this one. The
music is great - they really know to play. 

Yeah, I've bought the album and listen to it right now. But I got
some questions. In the booklet following the cd they have wrote :

According to an interview with Morten Harket on NRK last week, they'll

  I couldn't agree with you more! Guns 'N Roses is THE most overrated band.
They're so bad I don't know where to begin. They're a bunch of talentless
assholes who don't know a thing when it comes to making music. All I hear when
I listen to their music (which is obviously only when I'm forced to) is a big
noisy mess riding on a sea of dissonant guitar work and foul-sounding vocals.
What a waste.
  As for them looking good on TV, I think they look as bad as they sound! Let's
start a mailing list for haters of Guns 'N Roses so we can all trash on them
together.
  And yes, no matter how many times the band's blind followers deny it, GNR's
lyrics are racist, sexist, and STUPID!!
