The Madonna fans you know go on and on about how Madonna is the greatest
evil since Gerry Falwell and Ronnie Raygun???  They're big fans of Pink
Floyd, The Beatles, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, Fred Frith, Peter
Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Robyn Hitchcock, Suzanne Vega, and artrock in
general?  They must be pretty strange....

And if Kate Bush albums don't retain their value for quite some time,
why did they put her 1977 and 1978 albums on CD?  And why were her 1978
and 1980 albums finally released for the first time in the U.S. in 1984?

He must be a damned good poet then!  Why don't you send me some of his work?

Too bad you tarnish such a good group by association....
