   I checked my copy of "Stereopathetic Soulmanure" & that must be the
album that has the Black Dog on it.  I don't know any Black Dog music, but
there's a snippet of some electronic song at the beginning of track 12,
which is "Today Has Been A Fucked Up Day" for the record.  I don't know if
anyone cares.  Maybe one of you out there writes a Black Dog disgographie
& wants to include this.
   &, even more unlikely, if any of you are also Woodie Guthrie fans, you
might be interested in knowing that Beck's "Today Has Been A Fucked Up
Day" sounds suspiciously almost exactly like Woodie's "Vigilante Man,"
except with different lyrics of course.  I imagine that, knowing what a
big Woodie Guthrie fan Beck is, he must have done this intentionally, but
I've never heard him say anything about it, or about Black Dog.
