>>I liked BNL initially, until a Toronto lady I knew explained to me that they were completely over there barely after they started. She said Toronto music fans had already discarded them. And I listened to them again and could see what she meant.

>I don't get that really. Why does it matter that they were "completely over?" If you like them, you like them. No? I don't care a whit if everyone else thinks they are passe, just what I like to listen to.

Not to mention that the lady was wrong anyway.
They were quiet for a while, doing other things.
They became more visible recently. And no matter how I slice it, they have interesting lyrics and a unique musical style (says me, who basically stopped listening after the Beatles and can hardly tell the difference between guitar, ukelele, banjo, violin, etc).

By the way, they started at the heighth of the politically correct movement here in Toronto. Schedule for a New Year's Eve concert at City Hall, they were cancelled at the last minute because their name might offend. TRUE!!!
