Stating that carrying a "pocket knife" is illegal is misleading. You could get lifted under the same legislation for walking down Sauchiehall Street with a baseball bat under your arm at 11 at night. Semantics, but what pissed me off at the time was the blanket statement about a "culture of fear" in Scotland. I'm not aware of one, I assume you aren't directly aware of one, and the legislation is also UK wide, not specific to Scotland. If it's any consolation (and it probably isn't) you got version 4 of my reply. All the others were a lot more long winded and unfriendly (which I don't want to be). I got the point you were making but it really isn't cool to generalize about someone elses home country. On the other hand feel free to ask if we do have a "culture of fear" or if all Scotsmen are naked under the kilt or where to buy haggis hunting licenses, etc. (H) ===== CHUCKHOLE All that great punk rock taste with only half the calories. http://clix.to/chuckhole http://www.mp3.com/chuckhole __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

She pulled over and called animal control again, and then stood there on the side of the road beside her truck with the drooling, terrrified possum frozen in place waiting for AC to show up in the middle of the night. And then a cop car came by, shone a big bright light on her and the critter... and then just drove off. And I wonder if they radioed it in to HQ, and if so, did they have some kind of police code for "girl by stationary truck with possum on road"? Did they think she was walking it or something?

Daltrey said it's important to perform the music to the standard it deserves. "It really demands a certain level of performance," Daltrey told reporters. "And as long as I can give it that, and he (Pete) can give it that, we will be The Who. Bassist John Entwistle (news) died last year from a heart attack caused by cocaine use. Drummer Keith Moon (news) died in 1978. "It's not the same without John," Daltrey said. "But when we start playing the songs, John and Keith, they're both alive again. They are indelible within the music. They will always live within that music. That is the beauty of music." Daltrey and Townshend intend to go into the studio in October and are hoping to come up with an album, but Daltrey said, "That's in the lap of the gods. It will only be released if we think that it's music that has something really to say about today." Daltrey believes there's no reason why he and Townshend can't be The Who any more. "It can be as long as Pete and I want to go on," Daltrey said of the band known for the hits "Baba O'Riley," "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Pinball Wizard." "And as long as we can perform the music to a standard that the music deserves, which is an incredible high standard," Daltrey continued. "Pete Townshend is one of the most important songwriters of the 20th century. Especially, in rock 'n' roll anyway." Meanwhile, Daltrey has been working on a television show called "Extreme History with Roger Daltrey," in which he recreates the challenges that defined great moments in history. The show is set to premiere Oct. 5 on the History Channel. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2003 13:56:02 -0500 From: "Eugene Hopstetter, Jr." Subject: All this wallpaper tastes the same If you've heard one Sigur Ros song, you've heard them all.
