[edit] Removed links to individual band members

At first I made wiki links for the individual band members but they redirect here anyway so I've removed them. For future reference (god forbid they break up or something, or maybe in case they do some additional non-FM work) here's a list of the band members' articles:

Matt Hensley leaves the band, RIP you will be sorely missed. 12/10/06

[edit] Photos

I have uploaded the following "free-use as long as the photographer is credited" photos (all by Shawn Bishop, as you can see if you click on them).

I've picked one for the article, but I'm not totally sure myself so feel free to talk about it if you prefer a different one of these pictures or any other picture.

[edit] Page reordered

I rearranged the order of the page a bit, mainly in order to bring the table of contents box back up to the top. Hope I didn't step on anyone's toes with this edit! Akradecki 06:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I approve of your edit! Simoes 10:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Driving Forces"

Not to detract from the talents of Dave and Bridget, Nathan's energetic bass playing and the group's overall cohesiveness in live shows are also important contributing factors to the band's success.

[edit] "Black Friday Rule"

Does anyone know which Black Friday the band is referring to in "Black Friday Rule"? Thanks, just curious. --Brasswatchman 23:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I've thought about that too, and just a guess, seeing as how they are irish, and the
irish are mainly roman catholic, i think it refers to the friday before Easter known as black friday or good friday. Though im not sure how the lyrics would go along with this religious day, but im also not positive what the black friday RULE is. Maybe you would want to look into what this rule thing is about black friday. P.S. can anyone help me get this text out of this box (im new to this wiki stuff) (Unsigned)

Fixed your comment. Also, in Whiskey on a Sunday, Dave stated that the song itself was about leaving home; taking the plunge into the unknown. If you see the article on Black Friday, there are numerous events with that name. Almost certainly he's referring to Friday the Thirteenth, which is a day traditionally supposed to bring bad luck. I'm not exactly sure why he references this in the song, though. 58.109.10.16 09:59, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
