Let's just say they did not route for Turkey in the Olympics. 13931@blogcritics.org Mon, 28 Jul 2003 13:40:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/07/28/130029.php#comment-13928 The amazing thing about this band is that they do a lot of politically motivated things, but they don't force it down anyone's throat. Sometimes, they write it up in their lyrics, but mostly, they just provide options for their fans to get involved as opposed to guilting them into it. Until I heard from this band, I never knew anything about the Armenian holocaust. It is the kind of event which is not covered in history classes in high school so most people don't know of it. 13928@blogcritics.org Mon, 28 Jul 2003 13:34:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/07/28/130029.php#comment-13925 Here's hoping that the Pirates can get him in a trade for Jason Kendall! 13925@blogcritics.org Mon, 28 Jul 2003 13:11:38 EDT
