NICE! Not only do I get to talk with other Powderworkers, I find that =
I've also been given an opportunity to network with people of my =
religion, too :-D Then again, I guess it isn't so surprising that =
Midnight Oil would attract young(ish) Unitarians.
This list is the coolest.

I too am a Unitarian Universalist who has loved Midnight Oil since the =
"Diesel & Dust" era (which was actually before I became a UU). I've been =
on this list since 1996 but mostly lurk nowadays.=20
I agree that there is "another America" out there in the transcendent =
sense ... the problem is how to reach them. We Americans (through our =
Congress, Federal Communications Commission, market forces, etc.) have =
let the radio industry and the recording industry consolidate their =
ownership and homogenize the sounds we hear to an unprecedented degree. =
And they just don't let in "rock the boat" groups anymore.=20
A few years ago, my congregation had a student minister who really =
liked Midnight Oil but had no idea the band was still producing albums =
(this was around the time RW came out in Australia). Multiply that by =
all the people who liked/bought D&D. They ARE out there ... I feel it in =
my bones....=20
Back to lurking, but keep in touch!=20
Peace,=20
