Oh well, irony... :-)
Maybe I just don't like irony?
I don't know if you have the same thing in England and US but here people
are talking about "the ironic generation". That's me and people of my age.
First came the X generation... than the ironic generation.
Bullshit!
I will be more than happy when people stop hiding what they are talking
about behind walls of irony.
Sometimes I feel some people mean one thing when they first say it...
but later, when the reactions comes, they suddenly say "Oh, but this was irony
 of course." - just to protect themselves.
(Not speaking about Motorhead though.)
The same thing goes with a lot of the present so called satire. IMHO.

Hmm, I've never listened to the lyrics of the Watcher. I'll do it when I comes
home tonight.
