[Introspective] Final results of poll on PSB promoting a Stop Brexit event on their website

[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 recently promoting 
on their official website a "Stop Brexit" March on Parliament event. And 
the response that received the most votes was:

* "In general, musicians have as much right to support political causes 
as anyone else, and the Pet Shop Boys should be commended for taking 
public stands on important issues like this," chosen by 51.5% 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 from the top navigation bar or click the appropriate 
link on my "What's New?" page.

My new poll for the week ahead anticipates the re-release sometime very 
soon the Pet Shop Boys studio albums released since the last batch of 
reissues in 2001. If you recall, each of those earlier albums -- from 
Please through Bilingual -- was reissued with a bonus "Further 
Listening" disc of assorted other tracks from the corresponding 
time-period: single b-sides, remixes, demos, and the like, some of them 
previously unreleased. In all likelihood the newer albums -- from 
Nightlife through Elysium -- will receive the same bonus-disc treatment 
when they're reissued. But some fans have been speculating online 
whether that first batch of reissues from 2001 will also be re-released 
at the same time. And, if so, would they have the exact same bonus 
"Further Listening" tracks, or will there be some new additions, 
presumably offered to encourage fans who purchased them the first time 
around to buy them again? So that's the subject of my question this 
week. If those older albums (Please through Bilingual) are reissued 
again -- and at this point we really don't know whether they will or not 
-- would you like for them to include new bonus material, or would you 
prefer that they be exactly the same as before? 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 terrific week ahead!
