hi Alex---
firstly--thanks for playing me well last year--
i think it was me you played--but i don't recall ever writing a song called 'the gates of something stupid' i did write a song ," the Gates of Birkenau; Mir'yam", rereleased as "Treblinka Liberated" on my 3rd album DESERT FEVER BRIGADE-- released 12/29/2003.
basically, Alex--if you took more time with the number, you would see it was a tribute to the Holocaust, a very tragic event in the history of my people. You substituted "Birkenau" , the site where millions of martyrs died with the phrase "something stupid" maybe you thought it cool to poke fun at my records--others at that time did , too--that i got over and went on to produce 3 other full length cd's, which a heck of a lot less people poked fun at--but substituting a site where millions of my people died from a heinous hate crime with 'something stupid' i don't think was cool at all
again--thanks for playing me
