As some of you may or may not have realized, those lyrics aren't complete... After the last verse that's on FDC, (at least this is how I've seen it) dave, as marion, comes on stage and tells everyone that we "should be reducing more so than recycling", after that, there is another final verse. I will attempt to write it out, but I'm a little unsure of some of the words and I *definatly* will spell most of them wrong! :) Marion Fruvous: Final Verse -- You show your concern You take nature walks You shop blahblah's (sp?) green And you read equinox And then throw out your guilt in a little blue box And think that this passion will ward of the pox The curse of Marion Fruvous! After that is the final chorus to end the song... Thanks for indulging my insanity (and bordem!), but I just wanted to do it for the sake of completness :) Ken, feeling the need to post "rare fruvous song" lyrics from memory ------------------------------ Date: 20 Jul 1998 20:13:19 GMT From: elrond@fellspt.charm.net (Matt James) Subject: Re: greetings from Alberta! : > vs pepsi. Essentially the same product, but people who drink one somehow : > have a distaste for the other (same deal w/ toothpaste, and soap, and..etc : > etc etc). : If that's cynical, I guess I'm a cynic.

I evaluated what you said against my personal experience with : brand loyalty, looking for ways to disprove it, and instead discovered that : I've used the same toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, perfume, cosmetics, etc : etc etc, since I was about 12! That's over 20 years, sports fans! I am : reluctantly forced to acknowledge your point. (Not reluctant because of you, : but because of how depressing it is.) : Still, using Aim Toothpaste for the rest of my life won't kill me. Smoking : will. (And, yes, I do.) I have a simple rule for buying products: get whatever is the cheapest! Well, ok, that is not 100% true, but close to it. I don't really care whether I have coke or pepsi, whatever is on sale. Toothpaste? Colgate one month, Tom's of Maine the next, Crest the next, whatever is on sale. Often, the only product I'll get consistently is something like Safeway's Apple Juice which is *always* the cheapest or Lucerne milk which is the *only* one available. So what's that make me? A price hoar? ;) - -Matt - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt James Voice: (301) 231-9898 x. 121 TYC Associates email: mjames@tyc.com Rockville, MD alternate: mattj@charm.net http://www.tyc.com - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jul 1998 20:39:38 GMT From: jkpolk@ntplx.net (Andrea Krause) Subject: Re: Review of 7/17 Burlington, VT show On Mon, 20 Jul 1998 00:17:32 GMT, "Adam Hartfield" wrote: >WHTMATBVTMFC > I struck up a conversation with the couple at the next table >- Paul from Enfield, CT, which is just across the border for me, and >Andrea Krause, also from CT.

Quite so...There were some of the rudest people at that show. Especially one drunkish bald guy who pushed past me and was yelling unintelligible things and looking astonished that we were actually trying to enjoy the show. (Which, in itself, if you ignored a lot of the people, was great) There were a couple of girls near me also who were annoying me by constantly remarking to eachother in a condescending manner about how a lot of us knew all the words and other various show interactions. >Encore 2: The Drinking Song.

I was so sad during this rendition. Most of the audience was incredibly unappreciative, loud, and rude, and I just felt so bad for the band. It was a huge difference from the last time I heard it, at the Bowery Ballroom, which was very cooperative and beautiful. >I'm sure there's much I'm forgetting, and if I left you out, please do >email me at the address below (not the hotmail one).

Seems the majority of the people were drinking and > talking. The Nerve! Yeah... that crowd was rediculous! Who the hell would pay a cover charge to go into a place a band is playing, only to stand around, drink, ignore the music, and annoy the people who are actually enjoying it?!? I was so upset with those damn back-of-the-room people by the time I left.... I just wanted to... well, I don't know what. > Banter - Human Flesh In A Pipe. I have no idea what they were talking > about. They're talking about a video for that song (I can't remember the name) by the band Tool. > Encore 2: The Drinking Song.

Yeah... again, this was so sad about the crowd. I finally abandoned my recorder during this one and went right up to the stage so I could at least hear LESS of those damn people shouting. :( Really a pity, it would have been a great show without those annoying drunk folks!!!! > After the show ended, I managed to go introduce myself to Nate De > Rose, and that was cool. He's a member of the roB! Johnson/Dave Tobey > lookalike club. Heh. Am I? I hadn't noticed.... :) Who are they, anyways? Well, I did try my damndest to enjoy that show in spite of the jerks... and it seems to have worked... I have mostly fond memories. :) Nice to see Chris again... and to meet Adam, and see a few other folks I recognized, though I didn't get to talk to them. Hopefully next time! I certainly hope that next time there will be a larger percentage of people there for the MUSIC, rather than the Magic Hat specials.
