Midnight Oil

[Powderworks] Lurking and Politics - NMOC

I believe the description of the listserv contains the words "politics and
music".  With the Oils, the two seem pretty inseparable.

Thank you for interpreting my comments.

'communits' was meant as a slam against that Left
leaning politics of this list.  It was more of a joke
than actually labeling anyone.  I know nothing about
anyones politics other than they hate Bush.

The entire point of my post is that I still think this
is a list about Midnight Oils music!

What really got me is that this persons FIRST EVER
POST was about POLITICS and not MUSIC!!!!!

Period.
