#4 So it is... but gee, it must be hard to be a satirist these days, when reality itself turns so bizarre.

You know, all the "glowball worming" hysteria is beginning to remind me of another sort of mass freak-out; the "satanic-child-molestation-at-day-care" hysteria of about 20 years ago. It's the same sort of shrieking hysteria, the same shouting-down of all the people who said "now just wait a darned minute", the same light-speed jumping to conclusions. Anyone else get the same vibe?

#6 Will their audience become even more selective?

#7 Anyone else get the same vibe?

Absolutely, Sgt. Mom. Though I hadn't made the direct connection before you mentioned it. It's part-and-parcel of that fundamentalist mentality that brooks no doubt or discussion. And, at its core, environmentalism is just a substitute religion for most of its adherents.

#8 Hopefully Tap will play their wonderful "Stinking up the Great Outdoors" off the Break like the Wind album.

Having said that, apparantly the copyright on some of the Tap stuff is odd and they have to appear in some endevour as Tap every so often to renew it. So said the audio commentary on the DVD at least.

#10 Good, it's been unseasonably cold, we could use a little global warming.

#12 Gawd I hope they live up to the brilliance + humor of the original.

#13 Reminds me, the Brits are way Way WAY overdue for producing a new rock or metal film - Amer at least made HIGH INFIDELITY + FORD FAIRLANE, which TMK remain popular wid the college crowds.
