[kj] OT:Ministry

[Leigh Newton]

The one with "Ovaaaah th' shouldaaAAAHHHH"? Ugh! That
stinks!

Rape and Honey and Mind are both great albums. Burning
Inside is a killer track. I also love the In Case You
Didn't....live video. Intense! I was just a few years
too young to witness that tour in person when it came
to my town. Looks like it would have been memorable to
say the LEAST!
