Enjoy The Silence

In what is not considered to be a blasphemous rumor, Depeche Mode cancelled their upcoming Israeli concert. Either the tech crew just had enough of the dangerous situation or it's some form of condemnation, but cancellations such as these are becoming a pain that Israel is used to.
All right, I'm done now.

you concerned for depeche mode's cancellation in particular? I recall VNV Nation was there several years ago at a touchy time. I met your father last week and he noted you were smarter than he and had a blog - the blog I sort of knew about.

Let's hope that other bands are able to shake the disease that takes over their tours in situations like these.

Pierre - I don't really care about the concert, but it was a nice chance to use all those Depeche Mode puns I've been saving.
Susan - Well done ;-)

I had several puns myself, but I'm only makel regarding band shirts over the 9 days - not on music puns, especially not from music w/ actual melodies.

You cant blame DM for the cancellation. After all, there is a was gong on and people are people...
(Maybe that wasnt so good but how can you not reference their best song?)
