controversy & ceremony

I've been waiting to comment on the latest Boulder scandal du jour until after I got a chance I to read the whole speech that is at the center of this mess. After doing so, it is quite clear that Ward Churchill's "controversial" passage, that is currently circulating around the nation, was taken entirely out of context and that people should simmer down a bit - let it go folks. Um, oh yeah, and there's the First Ammendment too...

The thrice bankrupted & rather legendary Factory record label has risen from the ashes once again, this time as F4. Only time will tell if any of the three bands on the current roster will amount to anything quite as influential, enjoyable, or disfunctional as Joy Division, New Order, or the Happy Mondays.
