Normally, I'm not a big fan of MySpace surveys, and don't get me started on MySpace chain letters. But at least with the surveys, I'll give 'em a glance before deleting them. That's not the case with the chain letters which almost instantaneously end up in the trash.One survey came across that was just too good to ignore. It provides a little insight into the world of Totale and, more importantly, was fun to complete.
Plus, it's music related, so it's somewhat legitimate to post it on Glam-Racket.

Don't feel bad about digging that April Wine song, I once tortured someone famous for saying he hated it to the extent that he later emailed me to say that he bought the album out of spite and had to admit there were "songs I wish I'd written myself" on it.
Of course the last Scrid show was bad. I wasn't in the band to save em anymore. hell why do you think they called it quits.
Every question in that survey should be answered by everyone with two songs, interchangibly and in no particular order: "Deuce" & Strutter". Nuff said...
