ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 08/15/2000

Hello again, Peabrain here. With me is my boy, Herman.
Herman, set the Farback Machine for 1984. The place? Hollywood,California - the scene of the rebirth of glam rock in the form ofheavy metal hair bands. Okay, push the button to launch themachine...
Wait a minute, something's wrong here... something's very wrong.I know we're in California, but this seems to be more like 2000.Herman, you nitwit, you crossed the wires of the Farback Machinewith the flight schedule for United Airlines. What have I told youabout surfing the Net on company time?
All I know at this point is I'm hearing this band, Spiders &Snakes, and I'm wondering if they got caught up in the electronicjumble that landed us here instead of the mid-'80s. Even a copy oftheir latest disc, London Daze, has mysteriously appeared in the on-deck CDplayer, and I'm wondering how such a relic could ever survive inthe early days of the 21st Century.
