Just digging out from under almost two weeks' worth of emails, and=20
fascinated by all that's gone on on this list ... it occurred to
me that the Blushas debate has been going on for much longer than
anyone realized. Way back in the '70s, David Bowie registered his
opinion:

    Planet Urth is Blue,
    and there's nothing I can do...

Hey, Blattid!

I shouldn't really be proud of this, but I've already made that David Bowie
joke on the list back in April 2002. See...

BTW, has anyone got a copy of the 12" remix where he changes the words to
"Planet Urth is Green"? No, I didn't think so!

Either way it is an excellent joke.

BTW, I read an article that quoted Tony Visconti, Bowie's longtime producer,
as furiously screaming during the sessions "no, no NO, Planet Urth is
Green!"
