Lovesexy "Have you had your plus sign today....yes."

It's in the album, I believe. It was on the tour, hanging over the stage at the end of the show in neon. Was probably in the Tour Programme too.

It's on the sleeve of Lovesexy, along with "New Power Soul" in an upward-facing arrow. "Yes" was a big theme of the whole album, especially for the opening song ("Say yes--if U want this feeling called love") and the closer ("Positivity--yes").

Why do all the songs on Lovesexy play like one big mp3? Why are the songs not divided like other albums? Or is my CD defective?

The US retail version is still one track. The Euro CDs are tracked. One just has to buy from Amazon.co.uk.

Wow - well, its pretty big on page 12 in the cd booklet, where the performers are listed. And, whilst not on the video packaging, it certainly appears in the concert.

Not dissing, just saying wink and not that it really matters

Good stuff. I hadn't seen these patches and buttons before Googling them. Actually, I probably saw them at the Lovesexy concert, but was more into the t-shirts (which I still have).

By the way... that CNN quote was cool too.

At first I thought those were matches...and then I thought that would be a cool club name..."Yes." If the band "Yes," wouldn't be upset. cool
