At a recent show in MA (I wasn't lucky enough to be there but have had this info passed to me by a non-edhead) the band admitted to having "2 Catholics, a Jew, and an astronomer." We know Robbie is Jewish (btw Happy Chanukah to Robbie and all other fellow jews out there in edhead land) but I am not sure about the other three (although Julie with an Irish maiden name of Murphy has GOT to be Catholic). My main interest though is the reference to the astronomer. Is it solely a reference to someone who doesn't claim any organized religion (like astronomers are often blamed for) or a reference to a band member that actually takes a liking to the celestial sphere? If we assume the latter then that leads me to think of songs the band does that reference astronomy. I can only think of two: "Moons of Jupiter" and (a bit of a stretch) "Gravity." Mike wrote the first one and Robbie wrote the second. But we have already identified Robbie as the Jew in the statement so that leaves Mike as the astronomer. Yet he has only written one song on astronomy... Are there any other EFO songs that reference astronomy? Of course, it is possible that I am catching the quote all out of context and making a big deal about nothing!!

They said the same thing at the Asheville, NC show a month ago. I assumed that it is Robbie the Jew, Mike and Julie the catholics, and Eddie the astronomer. Eddie did go to Turkey to see the solar eclipse or a meteor shower or something. Remeber, he left right before the big earthquake? But I could be wrong. - -rhiannon p.s. I hope a lot of you are going to go to the Arts Center show in Carrboro, NC on the 19th!

I seem to remember reading an interview that mentioned Eddie was a big NASA buff. I would guess he's the one they were refferring to. They didn't dedicate the show to the ill-fated Mars Polar Lander though... BTW... I only resubscribed to the list yesterday. Did anyone else see the Somerville theater show? It was quite an amazing show. I got to see Eddie "play" the guitar....
