My wife and I stopped at a diner in Nevada that had little juke boxes at each booth. One of the selections was the New Wave band Men without Hats; but instead my wife misread it as "Men without Hate". I laughed, but the phrase stuck in my brain.

lyrics

Men without Hate (Sam Arthur-1989)

You who walk in loneliness, lost, without a friend
Turn to kiss the Morning Star, your night is at an end
Brothers, sisters, lose your pride; humble, gentle is His bride

Ch: Jesus, redeem Your people, raise and re-create
Friends of truth and beauty, men without hate, men without hate

You who may be thirsty, come to Him and drink
You who have no money, you’re richer than you think
Brothers, sisters, feast your eyes, on the One Who satisfies

Ch: Jesus, redeem Your people, raise and re-create
Friends of truth and beauty, men without hate, men without hate

He will come in righteousness, He will come in love
He can raise us from our depths, to His courts above
Brothers, sisters, wash your robes, He has paid all that we owed

Ch: Jesus, redeem Your people, raise and re-create
Friends of truth and beauty, men without hate, men without hate
Men without hate

They asked Lisa to sing with them because their voices both stunk and hers was very good. The name "The June Bugs" was chosen after an extensive free-association-by-email. ... more
