It doesn't offend me either, nor does Short Memory, and how about My
Country? I know it's about Australia, but consider the line "the flag a
camouflage for your deceiving"-- to me this is a perfect commentary on the
U.S. government's so-called War on Terrorism. It's also just a great song,
does anyone know why they don't play it?

Hmmm, how DO they figure out what a given crowd will go for? If there can
be an Oils show without Beds, can there be one without The Dead Heart,
Dreamworld or Blue Sky Mine? Not that I dislike these songs, it's just that
there's so many others I would love to hear.
