[kj] OTG ???

[Alexander Smith]

During a walk to work earlier this week, my iPod played "Obsession" on  
a random shuffle. Sure, the production is awful and it largely lacks  
all semblance of balls, but it isn't all bad. Consider the prescience:

We Build the Tower/Tower Falls Down/All My Dreams Come True (or  
something)/Sweet Jesus & Mohammed/Disputes between the Boys......

Or maybe Jaz was just really high at the time.
