Odd, Random Thought
August 1st, 2007By placing “Opportunities” just prior to “Integral” on the current tour’s set list and having the first song segue seemlessly into the second, Pet Shop Boys are providing fans with a danceable condemnation of those profiteering from the war on terror and related efforts to force national ID cards onto the populace.
Clever, that.

Is that not where it was for your show, or do you mean adding a new song to an old one to give it a different meaning? I have heard “I’m with Stupid” has been dropped from the lineup (for obvious reasons).

I was referring to the fact that there’s a distinct contextualization when those two songs are combined.

Gotcha. Good point.
