Are there more ruins in Belin that are preserved as war memorials? I saw the unrepaired buildings in Lebanon after the end of the civil war looming up on a rainy day like a melting world that looked beautiful...only when I saw the freshly bombed out buildings near my grandmothers house that had exposed living rooms and bedrooms with mattresses and frames spilling to the outside did I really feel something of the horror.

As for Marylin Manson I'm not surprised he used classical for his intro he's all about image, atmosphere, and mystique so anything that helps that mood he's all for, he usually gives me a good chuckle (many crazy rumors a few years back). Thank you for posting about the Church, while Volta has been called a more politicized than usual Björk its based on the fact that war and the forces and emotions that drive it usually leave deep wounds that help no one. We all want respect, kindness, and love places like the Church in Berlin remind us of that. Give everyone on tour the best from the fans and me. *Feel Better* ~jordan Hope you and everyone feel better!
