[Introspective] Final results of poll on whether "A Man from the Future" will be released

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors whether they believe the Tennant-Lowe composition about Alan 
Turing, "A Man from the Future," will ever be released as a studio 
recording. And the response that received the largest number of votes was:

* "I doubt it will ever be released on account of its limited commercial 
appeal," chosen by 31.1% of the voters.

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

My new poll for the week ahead is inspired by an article I read some time 
ago about artists' "signature songs" -- the particular songs that, despite 
having had many other hits, certain established artists are best known for 
and are most closely identified with. In some cases they become the artist's 
virtual "theme song," or at least the song that they nearly always perform 
in their live performances. With this in mind, I think most of us would 
agree that, if the Pet Shop Boys have a signature song of their own, it's 
their first big hit, "West End Girls." The song they're best known for and 
most closely identified with -- right? So I'm wondering what you think of 
this. Do you believe "West End Girls" is a good signature song for them? 
Does it serve them well in that capacity? Or would it have been better if a 
different song had become their signature song? Or, for that matter, do you 
even agree with the premise that "West End Girls" *is* the PSB signature 
song? Please mull this over and make your choice from the options provided 
right there on my home page.

In the meantime, thanks to everyone who voted in last week's survey! And I 
hope you all have a superb week ahead!
