Whistles loss,Songwritings gain....

A man worthy of respect whose recent treatment at the hands of the U.S. heavies was ... well, distasteful.

Yeah, I think we overwhelmed the board software. My first attempt to post failed due to no response from the server, so I retried immediately and it went through.

He says he's gonna sue. I hope he does.

The funny thing is, if he's really such a dangerous man, why did they let him board the plane? And did they send him back in another commercial plane, or did they have to put him in a special millitary plane? Did they have to escort him back to England?

But in any case, i wish he'd lighten up and sing a little.

Actually i'm posting from my time machine, from an undisclosed location back in August 2002.

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me and are you gonna stay the night?

The authorities just remember there's a lot of bad, and beware.

Has he ever renounced his support for the fatwah declaring that a Salman Rushdie should be murdered?

I never thought much of him as a musician anyway.
