<br>I do like the album, but the part of Revenge that goes "kept on walking down the corridor, YES the corridor, YES the CORRidor" always cracked me up. That must be one important corridor.

I always though they were singing about Fabio:

Fabio original sin
Fabio the state i'm in
Fabio malicious crimes
Fabio her for the time

Fabio
Fabio

They must really like Fabio [:D] [:D] [:D]

Great guinea pig of Winnipeg! Somebody burn a copy of this album and send it off to Kimiiii immediately. I only have it on vinyl and no time for digitization...

Hey, it takes a great songwriter to be able to rhyme "startle" and "corridor."

Al's story might have washed better had he not done all these interviews before and after his association with Arista Records proclaiming how much he loved new wave and Euro dance. Also, had the stuff released on Wax Trax! before and after the album not sounded almost exactly like it. (Am I the only one who's wondered if "Everyday Is Halloween" was recorded during the "With Sympathy" sessions?) I think the real reason he's ashamed is because he had hair like this...

WORK for Love (or "The WHAT Song" as I called it for years...r e t a r d that I am).
[/quote]

I didn't get it after reading these posts on both threads for a couple of days - but just now, it occurred to me that the song in the recesses of my mind called "Whaaaaaaaaaat? Fellow!" is actually work for love...
Oh well, I'll go back to my play-doh and safety scissors.

Oh! Now I get it! I've been swimming in sinus congestion for the last few days, and everything has been very surreal. However, now that I'm thinking much clearer, I TOTALLY understand what this whole whaaaaaaaaaaat thing is about.

Oh, and BTW, I would love to see a reissue of With Sympathy. Spit in one hand, wish in the other...

<br>Perhaps the strangest guy I would meet and befriend during those WLIR days was Alain Jorgensen of Ministry. After an interview at the station I was asked to drive him back to his hotel before his show that night. I liked him right away. We had already spoken by phone a few times as we tried to book them at Paris NY. Each time instead of Paris, Spize was selected as that place was set up better for concerts. Anyway, Al was into some serious partying....and back then, so was I. We discussed what would happen that night when they took the stage at the Malibu with no intention of playing a single song off the hit LP "With Sympathy". His attitude was [i]"fuck 'em, it's my band, my show......I'll do what I want"[/i]. He and I shared that attitude. Not everyone enjoyed that night as much as he and I did......too bad. I thought it was great.

I always found it peculiar the passion with which Al Jourgensen despises his "With Sympathy" stuff.

Me, I like Ministry "before" and "after". I saw the band live when he was supporting (I think it was) "The Land of Rape and Money". Afterwards, I couldn't hear for days.

Nice pistol...

Anyway, "With Sympathy" has some great songs, but for me, Ravenge is the best, and that's why it's on my ipod... it comes on right after Souvenir by OMD (sort of a ying/yang feeling -- if you can't have a Souvenir, then you must get Revenge. [;)] )

But hes got a cigarette!

Oh well....the old adage that cigarettes are cool has long since been over. I dont think they are cool. I just smoke for nicotine. But I like to see other people smoke...so I can tell myself that I am not alone.

<br>Abadarling, I have never done heroin.

And SomebodySomewhere, I think that AlBaby looked better back then than now.

Um, I think abacab was talking about Al [?] I thought you read the link I put up. Here, let me help:

"VH1: Does music sound better when you're stoned?

Jourgensen: It depends. This is my first record that I did clean and sober."

And the cowboy hat he's sportin'.....YEEHAW!

Is it only me that's noticing kimster is avoiding the glare of NNNW and trying her best to fly under the radar by surreptitiously passing herself off as an critiquer of la' musica 80's [?][8)]
