Great Harmonies even LIVE. TOUGH and very impressive. You may recognise me. I was the one with the XENA like yell at the end of each tune. Oh Sussana. I felt the same. Wonderfull voice. Great songs. BUT... WAKE the HELL UP!!!! A little... just a smidge of UPBEAT would be attractive. Ahh well.

A few weeks ago I found out that I'm being sued for $2 Million by the occupants of another car involved in the accident. (well, actually they're suing three parties for a total of $2 Million.) So make sure your insurance is paid up before going frutripping. Good thing I did. Jenn's car dying on the Delaware Memorial Bridge on the way to last year's Birchmere show was also up there in terms of frutrip problems. - - Jason jreiser@ecoutez.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 11:46:17 GMT From: dacilen@bu.edu (Vika Zafrin) Subject: Re: Help!

Jim Infantino is an amazing singer-songwriter in Somerville, MA (that's right by Boston, neighboring Cambridge - that is, a hop, skip and a jump from your favorite MIT show). He does solo work, but also has a band, called Jim's Big Ego. Want to find out more: http://www.bigego.com - I certainly highly recommend it. Jim is a highly cool musician, and so are the people he plays with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vika [VEE-kah] Zafrin Patron Saint of Caffeine dacilen at bu dot edu aka Coffee Fru "You and your hula dance of culinary delight..." -ceecee ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 12:48:45 +0100 From: Richard Butterworth Subject: Re: greetings from Alberta!

There is a balance to be drawn here between freedom and security and I believe that right wing moralisers and other assorted loonies have got this balance completely wrong. This is not to deny that the balance does exist though -- a government must assert some sort of ethics. To draw a very crude analogy I firmly believe that I have a responsibility to not go out and punch people randomly in the face. In return for my assuming that responsibility I expect other members of my society to believe the same. However as I don't live in utopia I recognise that the government has a role in enforcing the responsibility of its citizens not to randomly punch each other in the face, by laws, etc. Somebody Very Famous and Very Clever (whose name I've forgotten so he/she couldn't be all that Very Famous) proposed the argument that freedom of expression is fine, but freedom to express yourself by shouting `Fire!' in a crowded theatre when there isn't one? Its an unanswerable question... It *is* the role of parents to teach ethics to their kids, but what if they don't? Is it better that the government tries to prevent its citizens bringing up unethical children by use of (sensible) law or that it picks up the pieces afterwards? In utopia the government should do neither, but that's not where I live... The sad irony/paradox about the advisory stickers is that the sort of parents who do actually take notice of the stickers are in general the sort of parents who care about their children enough that they probably are sharing in the exploration of their kids upbringing in all the sensible ways Nora suggests and so don't actually need the stickers. Of course parental advisory stickers are a complete load of risible bollocks -- who buys records that their parents approve of? I thought that the idea of dangerous and rebellious rock and roll was that you bought precisely the records that your parents *didn't* approve of. I should think the addition of a parental advisory sticker is worth about an extra 10% in sales. (Making up percentages off the top of his head. Actually does anyone know if there are figures on this?) > whose alterior motives are dangerous and potent. Its sad that we feel that our governments' motives are dangerous (I believe that about about my government too, though I may be paranoid) because that means that democracy isn't working.
