from a media approach, he *did* get you to read it, eh? plus, to play devil's advocate, he did make such an obvious use of "arrogance" and was so authoritarian that it was hard to believe he *wasn't* being sarcastic ;) but that doesn't matter. we'll have to wait for the reviews of the live shows to roll in.. mwahaha so, is he preaching to the converted? are the "idmsters" looking for shows to go to anyways, that they'll go no matter who is playing, as long as it's someone they recognize and can make time arrangements? i've heard of plenty of shows get a lot of inquiry and all they've posted was "is atom heart really playing in SF?" heh heh heh cheers, /derek ----------- "Extremism is no vice when God's on your side" -Opus the Penguin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
