Whaaaaat? does that have to do with anything? (BAPM)

John... you've taken the words rite out of my mouth. And I think the line 
mentioned, "Like a game of Red Rover..." is one of my least favourite lines 
from any OtR song. I was just a little bored with this review... anything 
Over the Rhine always has my attention... but this one didn't.

I've never once thought 'Latter Days' was written about the end of the 
world... I'm a Christian... but that has never entered my mind. Strange.

Oh, and why would there be a *new* review on GDBD? Confusing.
