The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Good Morning All,
JoBurg meeting insidious,
The Green attacks were most vicious.
DU vision I guess.
It's best put to rest.
They all find US invidious.
The Greens continue to expose their hypocracy by failing to live the lifestyle they would condemn the rest of the world to.

Take me to the River"
The version from their second album or the later version from "Stop Making Sense"? I prefer most of their older work over the later more synthesizer driven work.... Talking Heads "77" & "More Songs about Buildings and Food" are two of my favorite albums of all time.
