Seems to me that BÖC particluarly enjoyed playing TOGR saturday
night.  And that song has pointedly apocalyptic lyrics.

I'm curious at the outrage stirred by Divine Wind.  I assume that
folks are taking exception to the video.  The song originally struck
my as being pro-Japanese.  Now that's a tune that would be
amazing live.  Anyone ever hear BÖC do that song in concert?
