"Mister postman look and see
If there's a letter in your bag for me
I been waiting such a long time
Since I heard from that girl of mine"
Rock'n'Roll, Punk Rock, IOW real live.
I Love it, I prefer to carry brigs on a building lot, than to give a
lecture on audio engineering or rock music at an academy.
And again, this is my rock'n'roller _emotion_. I don't condemn anybody
being VDT, being an academic teaching music or what ever.
Everybody has to decide what is important for her/him. Don't care about
ethics! Listen to your heart!
