Imaginos/Half Life Time (lay off the IM!)

[Sprawl]

Well, I phrased it poorly, I think.  -I- like the song.  I don't get much
meaning
from it, but I like the sound and feel.  But I was already well familiar
with BOC's
sound when first I heard it.  I was really talking in terms of a first-time
listener's point
of view.  I will say that the tune does not come close to my top-twenty BOC
songs.
I have no dislike for it.

Of course, I pick the single busiest week of my entire year to chime in, and
speak hastily..
(I'm moving to Virginia on friday, and only found out about it LAST
friday....)
