     Continued isolation from radio and television should help
protect me :)

     Yeah, but it was because I was broke and unemployed! :)
If I can scrape up enough cash to afford the occasional CD,
book, or pint, then I reckon I got no business complaining
about anything else :)

     Petri Walli offed himself, and I count that a infinitely
greater loss than Cobain.  Now there was a depressed man.  But
I find most of his music extremely uplifting, and besides, he
wasn't totally rich.  Quite different, IMO.  So I can't work up
the same level of antipathy :)

Cheers,
Carl
