the revolting "Heroes" video, I'd hoped never to sample
this make-work project for his rich, underemployed friends.
Oh well. The only thing that could render it more
self-congratulatory would be a CD bonus cover of
Jefferson Black Hole's "We Built This City." C-

Leo, slag Crosby again...and i'll....i'll....(seethes)
I'll go home and cry, while listening to "Almost Cut
My Hair"
(Which by the way features some nifty Stills/Young
guitar interplay, to bring me semi half on-topic)
(Kind of)
