After thinking about it last night, I realized that my previous post wouldn’t be completely fair and honest without presenting the consummate set of factual evidence. So, for your perusal, here are the lyrics to the Red Rider song, Lunatic Fringe. Once again, Microsoft has proven their ability to chose theme songs for their software launches that are both poetic and prophetic.
Lunatic fringe I know you’re out thereYou’re in hiding and you hold your meetingsI can hear you coming know what you’re afterWe’re wise to you this time we won’t let you kill the laughter Lunatic fringe in the twilight’s last gleamingThis is open season but you won’t get too farCause ya gotta blame someone for your own confusionWe’re all on guard this time against your final solution Lunatic fringe you’re not gonna win this timeWe can hear the footsteps out along the walkwayLunatic fringe we all know you’re out thereCan you feel the resistance can you feel the rage?

Some of those lines are almost as appropriate as “…you make a grown man cry” in the Stone’s Start Me Up, which the steaming Redmond machine licensed for the launch of Windows 95.
