[kj] [OT] Cover Versions

[The Exorcist]

I think you misunderstood me Dear Alex.
#1 I LOVE the Cocteau Twins and have most of their albums.
I have the 3 This mortal coil cd's. Plus most of the original versions.
Song to the Siren happens to be a beautiful song and one of my favorite.
But alas my "sort of humorous josh" remark did not seem to be clear enough.

And May I quote you as saying:
"So, to hear them pulling disingenuous, ill-considered stunts like these is 
something I find rather hugely depressing.
Killing Joke owe me nothing. My fanaticism for their music is wholly my own 
doing and my own projection.
But, at the very least, Killing Joke should live up to their own 
loftily-preached standards."

I love their Music as I do for many other bands. I am a fan of music and 
enjoy it immensely (all genre's).
Most of the bands that I like, they and their fans have many views and 
ideologies about life that I never have
or will agree with. However that has absolutely NO impact what so ever on 
me liking their music.
Because I like their music does not mean I have to like THEM or anything 
else that carry on their flagpole.
(Do I also need to mention how many Arabic cd's 
(Lebanese/Iranian/Turkish/Kurd etc...) and songs I have as well?


I must run off to work for now. But I'll get back to you about the Bush 
thing later
if you so choose to make it a focal point whenever you will find yourself 
upset
with something that I say.

(Mind you most of the orthodox Jews voted for Bush as well.)

Cheers!

And still not mad or angry or hating,
