Excactly! And the way they mix all the imagery that's trampled over that
little place in the name of this and that, and their end result seems to be
fascism=nationalism=communism=??????

Apocalyptic in their time, but now they are a sort of industrial Spinal Tap,
albeit still pretty chilling (they were ok when they played here last year
tho). They sort of lost some footing with the fall of Soviet/eastern bloc,
though their NATO album was pretty great. I like their concept of NSK/the
collective art and issuing NSK passports!

I mean, is really converting Queen's "One Vision" to a Nazi hymn so off the
mark??!!!!!!

(BTW, I am an old childhood Queen fan :-)
