        I did wonder if there might be any connection, since the band in
question (whom I hesitate to mention not so much to irritate as protect
myself from any ridicule that might accrue when it came out that I woned
all their albums before I had _any_ BOC or HW (so they went and released
another, pfah)) were not averse to the odd spot of ironic rip-off... So I
am enlightened, thankyou...

        Well, I learnt it on this list, so it must be true... I believe he
had a man-szed one in which he used to sit and top up his orgone energy
levels resulting in enhanced feelings of well-being and general
friskiness, but I go from memory only...
