ah, c'mon Taylor. EYE is a inverionmental(sp?) activist and is trying to give
the audience a anti-chopping/burning down the rainforests-statement thru his
music.
believe me, if the rainforest disappears, i'm sure yr whole carcass will hurt.
save the rainforest! yer ears ain't hurting nothing compared to the tree when
it gets chopped down.
GO DJ EYE! (i wish he would tour Scandinavia)
