CONGRATULATIONS TO U2 FOR TAKING SEVERAL AWARDS
AT THE 2001 GRAMMYS.

I remember the first time I ever heard the classification "industrial" used to describe a genre/ style of music. I was working at an electronics factory in Mansfield, Massachusetts and there was another guy from there whom I had jammed with a few times. U2 was pretty new then - in the early 1980's. I had said to this guy, Robin, "I don't know what you call it, but it's definitely something different." He said, "industrial." I wasn't to hear that term used to describe music again for VERY many years later - in the late 1990's. I met a friend, Nelson, while going to UMass Dartmouth - and he was really into the whole industrial, noise, Goth, and quite a few other pretty much "underground" music styles. I turned him on to the "Relayer" album by Yes - insisting that there were elements of this "style" encompassed throughout that specific Yes album, which had been done many years before - in 1974. He absolutely hated it - or so he said - but there are some people with whom it's alright to discuss a point, but never a thrill to argue a point - because, no matter what, there's no winning. Plus, the feeling was mutual, and I told him so straight out - that I absolutely detested a lot of what he liked listening to, and that I thought it was absolute garbage and had no "musical" value whatsoever. He just loved that.

In all fairness though, I have to admit that Nelson turned me on to some VERY GOOD music, too. He'd been a college radio DJ off and on, and was aware of a lot of bands which I never even knew existed - especially the more ethereal and softer rock.
