Where did you send email to? moxy@passport.ca? Maybe try calling. There's contact info on FDC (under Contacting Fruvous) with a phone number. Hopefully it'll all get straightened out. Or maybe there's some Colorado law about importing Canadian goods and there's a huge pile of stuff right on the border with Kansas just piling up, waiting for the law to be repealed. Or maybe I'm just silly! - Chad PS So, I didn't post the phone number in case someone culls usenet for phone numbers and calls them soliciting. I wonder if that is actually something people do.

In article , ceelove@ibm.net says... >Like most people, I think "me too" posts are silly and redundant.

At that point, he's inviting you to satisfy your curiosity >about his habits and/or proclivities. (He's also inviting you to be >jealous, if that's your thing. *smile*) But we can't believe anything they say on stage, and often have to stay on our toes even when they're NOT on stage. After all, you were at last year's Philly Folk Festival where Jian's Blow Wind Blow lyrics included, "... so I slept with Dan Bern and Laura Love" ... followed shortly thereafter by "I wish." I've seen people wonder at Dan Bern and Laura Love's sexual preference too. Perhaps we're just curious about people whose outwardly visible self confidence in their own sexuality is more obvious than their sexual preference. It's certainly more interesting than the labels we throw around so casually. - - Jason jreiser@ecoutez.com ------------------------------ Date: 6 Aug 1998 03:18:02 GMT From: zardsnod@aol.com (ZardSnod) Subject: Re: Not a kilt!

Robert, not to sound patronizing, but I don't know if you've been lurking around here or not before posting, but if you had been, one thing you'd have noticed is we're not the type of group to put each other down. If you disagree with someone, no one will stop you, but please be so kind as to do it in a nice way, not sneering at someone. In the past when things have gotten nasty, that's when everyone's sort of deserted the newsgroup, making it a lonely place to be, and not good for decent discussion at all. Additionally, most of us end up meeting at some time or another, and you don't want to find yourself wishing you could be friendly with someone you'd insulted on-line, when you weren't face to face with them.. I'd basically assume that you'll meet most of the folks on here in person at some time or another, so you're not really protected by on-line anonymity. (Please don't let that stop lurkers from posting!!) Sorry for the lecture, but I'd hate to see us get nasty and aggressive/defensive here when the atmosphere's been so nice all along. - -Zard "Veni, Vidi, Velcro" - I came, I saw, I stuck around. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 Aug 1998 18:23:13 GMT From: clibicki@beol.net Subject: Re: Jian's Cool!

Ooohhh, noooo! Don't do that!! Just ask Chris T. to tell you her "going to see a band" border story sometime!! Buffalonians who've recently been crossing the border for Fruvian purpoises have recommended "I'm going to visit a friend in Toronto."

That's one of the things I meant to convey in all my ramblings, by saying that he doesn't want to be pegged as a heterosexual; I just never got around to saying it that concretely. No small surprise. ;P >I think the question is why do we need idols at all? I think the answer is >because a `relationship' with an idol is easy. I d'know. I'd say it also has something to do with the fact that we've removed from traditional "authority figures" the reverence and power that societies bestowed on them for millenia. We don't like being responsible for complete control over our own lives (all discussion about whether we have the right to decide what we listen to, etc, completely aside), so we hand it over to religious, governmental, and other hierarchical figures. We're pretty sour on traditional icons of power nowadays, so we fasten our attention on self-created idols. And if you don't think Fruvous can serve as idols for people, think again: I know of at least one person who told me of their literal worship for Fruvous. And I know myself that early on, years ago, I tended to ascribe any good characteristic to Fruvous, to be conversant with the image I had of them. I wanted them to be inhumanly perfect. Do they collectively and singly still rock my world? Yeah. But I do see them as fallible people, and if I were a public figure (which of course they are), I'd be freaked by people fastening such attention, admiration, and idolization on me. It constantly amazes me, how accessible Fruvous remains. Then again, maybe it's to keep people from being able to deify or commodify them or make them into "objects." But that's just me rambling. >Oh and I'm not >elevating myself in this one -- I recently met a cartoonist who I've >worshipped for years I was a complete tongue tied bubbling buffoon about it. *grin* Who was the cartoonist? My best friend has me so well indoctrinated into the comics industry that when I see that, I automatically think "Well, mine is Terry Moore" (of "Strangers In Paradise" fame, but then again, I'm prejudiced). ceecee ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #247 ********************************************
