(anyone at the cinci concert wanna back me up? ;p) Well, I'll back you up on that one. *grin* Fruvous has had some great openers, but they have also had their share of Goat Boys. The lads have also been co-billed with some incredible people (The Nields, Laura Love both pop to mind instantly and with a grand smile on my face). I have collected some good CDs of bands I saw directly because they were playing the same place Fruvous was. Specifically, I have 2 Johny Vegas CDs, 2 Hammell on Trial CDs, 4 Laura Love CDs, and 4 Nields CDs and I'd highly recommend all of those groups to people. As a matter of fact, I have an extra Nields - Gotta Get Over Greta (I "lost" one and got a new one, but then happened across the old one again) and an extra Stevie Wonder - Innervisions (same story here) that I'd gladly give or trade to people if you want 'em. Just email me. Both CDs are great. But still, no opening band compares to Goat Boy. Not even White Lightning... - Chad ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Jul 1998 20:43:01 GMT From: "Demetriou, Melanie" Subject: Re: Greetings from Alberta!

FWIW, I regularly review my political views to be sure I still believe what I believe. I usually come back to the same stance, although I have revised some opinions over the years. I'm *happy* to say that I didn't simply adopt my parents' political views and never consider it again. I'd love to see TV exposure banned from political campaigns. Oh, I'm sure that violates several Constitutional rights, but it sure would help out in the level playing field aspect.

I don't know what > anyone else here thinks, but doesn't it seem like there's some acceleration > in humanity of late? Well, okay, actually, I see that too. What I see is that humanity is polarizing. The bad people are getting worse, the good people are getting better (the middle people still don't give a damn). It's like we're choosing up sides. Don't get me going on my "humanity is coming of age" theories! Or how I think that apathy is the Devil in human form. (Leave Ozzie out of it!) But my views on How Things Should Be are extreme, and probably would not be very popular with this audience. That brings me back to something I said earlier, about our methods being different but our goals being the same. > Matt (ever the optimist) Melanie A pollyanna in my own right ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #155 ********************************************
