[Introspective] Final results of poll on PSB performing in Dubai

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors how they feel about the Pet Shop Boys being scheduled to 
perform in Dubai on May 9 despite that nation's repressive policies toward 
LGBT persons. And the response that received the most votes was:

* "I think it's OK. After all, why should their fans in the region be denied 
a chance to see them 'live' just because of their government's policies?" 
chosen by 33.8% of the voters.

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at 
http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and click one of the "Past Survey 
Results" options in the top navigation bar or the appropriate link on my 
"What's New?" page.

My new poll for the week ahead concerns the notion of a "concept album": an 
album with a unifying theme or concept. Concept albums have long been a 
staple of pop music, and the Pet Shop Boys have done some themselves. So I'm 
wondering which, in your opinion, of the Pet Shop Boys' twelve studio albums 
is the best concept album in terms of *being* a "concept album"? That is, 
not necessarily the album that's the best overall, but the one that does the 
best job of conveying and maintaining a unifying theme or concept. Please 
mull this over and, when you're ready, make your choice right there on my 
home page. And thanks so much to Matthew from London for suggesting this 
question!

Thanks as well to everyone who voted in last week's survey! And I hope you 
all enjoy not only the concept but, more importantly, the actuality of a 
great week ahead!
