"Master of Puppets" still rules but I don't see how a singer getting
a haircut becomes 'alternative'. "Load" still has the power chords

bunch of kids dropped acid and decided a cd repreating 6 seconds of a
track was kewl dewd.

dreamworks perhaps. if you really want to we can declare war on the
japanese again; they do own sony which ones columbia which owns a lot
of pennies they accepted for 11cd's and a 3 yr commitment, or was it
4?

> Red Sumner? If we shoot him, will the world be right again?

97% rule adam. 1 person out of 97% of 5 billion people is a very slow
start.
