She must.  I mean, anyone who likes to proclaim other tastes as garbage with
epithets like "Time to grow up"  must come from a very rigid military family
indeed, where independence of taste results in 50 lashes from the sergeant.

1) Why would you thus want to obtain a copy of it, when actual things more
suited to being plantholders (e.g., records by artists that you like) would
be much cheaper.  2) "HIS" royalties?  Obviously we're talking to someone
so well versed in the world of music that he knows "Mr. Gristle" personally.
(Never mind.)  So bold to comment on that which you are hopelessly unfamiliar
with.  Are there any other musical styles/concepts that you feel should be
gotten rid of?  Synthesizers?  Third world rhythms?  How about guitars?

Excuse me, but I've never heard of this rather obscure song.  Could you tell
us more about it?  I mean, you with the supreme musical knowledge might
explain if this might be the same song we hear every hour on the hour on
certain radio stations.  To quote a famous philosopher, "time to grow up".
