Alex, now you're REALLY disappointing me..you're drinking PBR when you could be drinking wonderful Brooklyn Pennant Ale
or Brown Ale or even Lager? That's one of my favorite breweries in the US!

No. I mean, I'm well aware of the Dennis Hopper line, but I was legitimately drinking PBR at the time.

Alex, are you referring to the line from Blue Velvet, "Fuck Heineken, Pabst Blue Ribbon!"?

Holy Crap! DAMN YOU, PABST BLUE RIBBON!

Not only is "Praying Hands" an utter, utter classic, but I was listening to it JUST YESTERDAY!

I'm a bad spud.

Any lyrics off the top of your heads [that you've heard - no Googling] that directly
or indirectly refer to hands or something (only) hands can do?
I can mostly only think of 80s songs that do (and Seconds and The Cutter allude
very well to hands, IMHO) but i don't think it was some trend then.

Nothing to struggle over, just whatever comes to mind. thanks.

Seconds* - Human League
The Cutter** - Echo and the Bunnymen
Lay your Hands - Thompson Twins
Guns of Brixton - The Clash
Blue Monday - New Order
Drowning Man - u2
Blaze of Glory - The Alarm
Won't you Hold my Hand - King

Sam's Town - The Killers
All these things I've done - The Killers
Blood on your Hands -- Killing Joke
Club Foot - Kasabian
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah -- ???


* your knuckles white as your fingers curl...
** watch the fingers close / when the hands are cold...

2 of the better allusions to hands, IMO

[btw, somewhere on this email there's a bilingual pun... i just caught it]

'Save me..
save from Tomorrow.. I don't want to sail in this Ship Of Fools...!'
