[D] Fw: Re: NPR new music from Concrete Blonde [Ashley Martindale Subject: Re: NPR: Numbers Lie Second example: Did you know that if you drive a car, you support terrorism? That's right, you buy the gas from an oil company that buys some of its oil from a middle eastern country that supports terrorim, or at least that's what the HARMLESS people tried to have us think. Then again, that commercial never aired. Actually, according to the American Petroleum Institute, http://www.apiinformation.org/ , about 70% of the petroleum used in the U.S. comes from sources other than the middle east. So, chances are, the gas you buy did not originate in the middle east, and therefore isn't supporting terrorism. Check it out for yourself.

Wanting to start a flame war? I read your point of views, partly because there was nothing else to read. I appreciate the NPR in the subject line as well, since it had absolutely nothing to do with Poe whatsoever. But I see no need to send such an abrasive point of view to a list of people that are not here for the subject you so vehemently seem to object to other than to start an arguement.

Gabriel is still touring with them. Johnette said they almost cancelled the show due to her PMS, (didn't need to know) but they went on regardless and the show was a little short, no encore but I have to say a Ramones-like version of Joey that was out of this world - -------Original Message------- From: Ashley Martindale Date: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 8:19:30 PM To: poe mailing list Subject: Fw: Re: NPR new music from Concrete Blonde I'll be going to a show in Houston this Sun.

Also, anyone who has made it to a show already or will before next month, is Gabriel still touring with them?
