Know what I'd love to find out - what was behind the decision to drop Die
Church. I mean, at some point, there was a meeting of a bunch of grey-haired
people in dark suits on the 256th floor of an office in New York City.
During that meeting there was a discussion about the future of The Church at
Arista.  Somebody said, "hey why don't we drop this band, they aren't
selling enough product."  Another person probably said, "well <INSERT GRUNGE
BAND HERE> is the next best thing, and we need to make room on our roster,
so I agree.  I second the motion." 

And so it went.  I think I'll write Arista and find out why they dropped the
Church for real.  Hmm... sound like an adventure.

PS: I have nothing against grey-haired people.  Some of my closest relatives
are grey-haired.  I may be grey-haired too, one day.
