Probably - I don't think Peter wants to piss off us Yankees any more than we 
already are - no just kidding.  I don't know that the Oils have ever played 
that 
song much over here.  I think I've heard it once in the six concerts I've 
seen over
the years.  Which reminds me, this is kind of strange.  I was looking at some 
old ticket stubs from Oils gigs I've attended, and some of the dates were:
10/6/93, 10/6/96, and 10/8/01 (missed it by two days).  Weird huh?
