John, I can't remember much about the other CN-reject, but I did hear
it at least once.  BOC actually played 'Mercury' at a
gig just after CN's release, even though they nixed it from the
album!  I saw them twice in a brief span.  Once about six months
before CN came out, where they played 'Mercury' and the other tune,
and then once 'supporting' CN.  I take it 'Mercury' is another biker
tune akin to 'Feel the Thunder?' Are the lyrics in the FAQ or the
volume available from the fan club?

A biker set would be, ahem, killer!
