Sinister: How can we make love if we can't make amends?

[Reid Dossinger]

It's so nice to see everyone kissing and making up.  I see that in all
of our hearts reverberate those words of wisdom, "How can we be lovers
if we can't be friends?"  Indeed.  C'mere and give us a hug.

I'm getting so excited for the shows coming up that I can barely see
straight.  It looks as though they play a different set every night and
have just about every song they've ever done ready to go.  Which is
great, considering that I'm going to two shows.  Now, I've heard that
they've been playing the sessions version of "Lazy Line Painter Jane",
but what about "Sleep the Clock Around"?   Do they play it like it is on
the album, or do they do it up more like the sessions version?

So, obviously, I'll be the dork at the front at the DC and Athens shows
writing the set list onto my arms.  In permanent marker.  To be tattooed
in after the show.

Something I've been meaning to share with you all (and I'm sure you've
been anxious to hear it) is my personal entry into the "misheard lyrics"
book, that someday will sell millions, and dammit, I want a cut.  In
"Seymour Stein", I always thought that "I heard dinner went well" was "I
heard Dylan wail", as though it was Seymour Stein going on about all the
famous people he knew Way Back When.  And I would also like to place my
vote in the non-existant poll that I prefer "North of Scotland has he
seen" to "Has he ever seen Dundee".  Sure, the Dundee line gets the
point across better, but the Scotland line is a little more poetic I
think.  And I have a doctorate in poetry.  And by "have", I mean "don't
have".  And the "He reminded you of Johnny..." is *obviously* a
reference to Johnny Rotten before he went into PIL, which is obvious
because Chris remind EVERYBODY of Johnny Rotten.  Just kidding...it's
really about Johnny Polonsky and his rumored electronic album.

The infamous Kenny was known to remark:

I can't believe they're selling that in the UK, too.  I can't even
believe they're selling it in the U.S.  Hell, I can't really believe
they're selling it.  It's apparently "alt-rock".  What a shocker.  Not
that there was any danger of me buying it in the first place, but that
pretty much killed all curiosity.  The funny thing (brace yourself) is
that that album was released on the same day as Shaquille O'Neal's new
one.  Two very different kinds of crap from two very different kinds of
sports stars.

Seven weeks of boring nonsense,
