FEAR AND DEATH AND POP MUSIC
MAY FIRST 2002

STATE OF THE NATION

Greetings, Starblinders around the world.  I've had a bit of disturbing news just recently from one of the schools I attended, East Pennsboro Area High School in Pennsylvania, USA.  It seems that seven students have died just recently for seemingly unrelated medical causes.  Testing is being done to see if an environmental link of any sort can be found.  Regardless of whether the circumstances are connected, our thoughts go out to the families and classmates in what must indeed be an extremely difficult time.

On a slightly lighter note, I'll be seeing the Pet Shop Boys live again on their US tour supporting the album Release, which is out now.  

I'll have a full report next month.  Stay safe, Starblinders.  You're doing fine.
