Yeah, I'd appreciate you checking the credits.  But I agree about there prob being a lot of 'looseness' back then.  And if Tom wasn't worried about it...
  
Would you know who is credited w/ writing most of the Voidoids songs?   

If I run across that interview I talked about I'll post it here.

Thanks!
