You know, I always thought it was “so the airplanes won’t get stabbed,” which makes less sense, of course, but there it is. So very pleased to see this.

  I always thought it was their best line.
  
  And I always thought they should have never moved out of Georgia. They would have spent more time reading Percy, which would have led them to O’Connor, which would have led him to something so unique in the music world (“Southern Gothic Rock” anyone?) that by the end of it they would be saying “I too am glad we lost the war.” Even though they probably say that now, it is for a far different reason than Percy and O’Connor had.

    All this talk of 10000 Maniacs and REM put me in the mood to listen to Merchant. I saw this and thought you esp might enjoy.
