This has nothing to do with poetry or creativity. No idea how he got here, but this is an Islamist who doesn't speak English, using a really rotten translating program. I knew the word, but I'm surprised nobody else at least googled "elarabiya" (El Arabiya).

That's because we don't want to end up on a watch list.

Would it be an ethical problem for UT to give us his home address?

Ah, then soon we will all be needed to die. Unless dov is here to tell us that. Which I kind of suspect he is.

I can recommend a great excorcist as long as nobody mentions my name.

I sometimes forget how powerful you are, with your machines and their blinky-lights and what-not. I wonder how many other secrets you know that you just don't bother telling us--like, are any regulars coming from an IP address different than their claimed location? I've come to accept that people can lie to me over the internet and there's nothing I can really do about it, but you sir are always at least one step closer to the truth! I envy you.

But seriously, I don't look into stuff unless there's a reason to!

Let's just hope UT keeps his bass until the Poco gig.

Nik hates me now! But he plays nice.

Tom Hampton's band for the Poco opener is basically Nik's entire act minus him. Draw your own conclusions! We count about 14 musicians who have worked with him in the past who will not work with him in the future.
