You did a very good job. You really had me going.

Again, no need to appologize. Your work wouldn't have been as effective
if you'd unmasked it from the beginning.

I don't. In fact, I'd be surprised if none of the band memebers had ever
encountered the concept. On the other hand, "Bullet in the Head" was
written in '92 in responce to Gulf War propaganda, and it is quite likely
that they hadn't encountered the term four years ago.
