  What's that humming background sound at the Mohegan Sun?

  Arghh! I'm an IT guy, and I hate, hate the hold music for HP. It's probably one of the worst hold lines I've experienced. The loop is short, so basically it gets ground into your head with the repetition.

  The WORST is the IRS. It switches from Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake each played with bad fidelity. And you wait so long that you hear the tape played over and over. Why they can't get dead American composers rather than dead Europeans, they were unable to explain.

  My favorite hold experience was not music; an appliance company played various household hints. It was really interesting -- I've neveer heard anything like it since.

  Syd's live song today illustrates that he is an ordinary man - so can you ask Syd who he considers a "sissy" and why they are not meant for Africa?

  What were Syd's musical influences growing up? His style is certainly "Dylanesque." But his vocals remind me of some other Western artists.

  Please don't refer to "Africa" as if it is one big country. It feeds into one of the biggest American stereotypes that all Africans are the same and their countries interchangeable.

  P.S. I am not a sissy - I hope!

  I am Durban born and raised now living in NY.

  In that song Africa is not for Sissies it is lietrally exactaly how it is right now. The hijackings, mugging shootings that he mentions its part of normal life there. Way too stressful for me.
