Although i enjoyed reading the great majority of El's mail to the group I had a problem with the following segment - "...songs in their heads and others who don't
exactly send out a positive message..."
I don't believe in "positive" or "negative" connotations in songs/music. Music either does the wild thing for you or it doesn't. I get just as big a kick (in a diffrent way) from Moby as I do Iggy Pop, who over the years hasn't exactly been known for being "positive" or righteous in any form.
