BOC: So long and thanks for all the hawks

[Brian Halligan]

Sorry to see you go. Hey, at least come back when the new album gets
released....

OK. I've got 12 minutes to kill. :-)
D&S (original version)
tR&tB (T&M version and OYFoOYK version equally)
Reaper (AoF version- a.k.a. the one without the TV Mix...)

"And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent." (Beeteljeuce (sp?) the "dog
star.") Obviously Keanu is a major BOC fan. In fact, in Bill & Ted 2, Bill
says to Ted (Keanu), "don't fear the reaper" when the pair defeat death to
return to the land of the living. Dude.

Yes.

> Morning Final - is there a vampire reference here?

Nope. "For the last time he felt the light and gave up his last fight." He's
not giving up because the light is hurting him. He actually enjoys the
light. Sometimes he has a picnic in the summertime when the light is very
bright and the result is very pleasing to him, even though he ran out of
mustard- though that part was cut from the original lyrics....

Quake III. He goes by the name "U.V. Reflector"

It's an initiation right for the "new" guys. Ah, hazing....


OK. Time's up.
