Which, of course, is a parody of the FAMOUS Nietzsche quote from his great
work, "Conan the Barbarian." But Nietzsche (who was, of course German), in an
essay translated as, "What the German's Lack," also said the only thing
Germans could do properly was make sausage and beer. One only needs to look
to the subject line for a refutation of this (rhetorical) remark. In fact,
one German has made some amazing VCFs and a VCLFO to boot! So watch those
quotes!

I can't be the only one on this list who doesn't want Wagner's ghost comin
round!
John (many years ago, my sister gave me a sweatshirt emblazoned with
following paraphrase, which was popularized in the sixties, if I'm not
mistaken:

"God is dead!"
Nietzsche

"Nietzsche is dead!"
God

Now that'll get some strange looks! Eh?) Barlow
