Think about it, if it wasn't brought up, there would've been practically no posts these past few days! I would like to thank Brian and everyone for giving me a few encouraging words and suggestions.

I nominate "Courier" as the song of the week. I've seen some posts in which people have suggested there are actually two couriers in the song. At the risk of seeming dim, could I ask someone to explain this? - -- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2002 17:04:07 -0700 From: "Stephen Jendro" Subject: [RS] add me to the RS list please?

I think what some people have noticed is that the time setting of the song seems to change ("with their marshalls and their chainmail" to "crouching in the trench...."). What I see from this is that the hero of the song is no one specific Courier but rather all of the nameless, unsung (until now) Couriers.

I know it's (c) by richard, but I don't have the album handy to check when and what the proper notation is, so forgive me please...
