I was not around when the song was "a nation-wide anthem". I was recommended the movie by a friend who is now in his late 20's. I, however, have only seen and heard the song once (a couple years ago), which is why (as I mentioned in my other post relating to this) I never should've opened my big mouth before having my facts straight.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I sure am not about to download an unidentified file. So ... can anyone tell me what the heck that "strange activity alert" was? Spam? Green eggs and spam? (and by the way, thanks a million times over to TMBGirl who sent me a copy of the indie-tape -- I LOVE GE&H!!!!!!)

I wish I loved my job as much as they love theirs. What's your favorite song by Fruvous Gulf War Song - a favorite from the start. Close second to Greatest Man in America. Who's your favorite non-Fruvous band or artist Bruce Cockburn Whom would you most like to see open for Fruvous The Nields or Tory Cassis Whom would you like to see Fruvous open for Bruce Cockburn - not likely as their styles couldn't be more different, but I'd love to see it anyway. They did play on the same day at the Newport Folk Festival a couple years ago. What's one thing you DON'T LIKE about Fruvous King of Spain - I love GOS, but KOS has always rubbed me the wrong way What's the greatest thing about this newsgroup Fun, friendly people and lots of witty banter ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1998 15:03:26 GMT From: hprodrig@capitalnet.com (Hugo Rodrigues) Subject: Jian on Newsworld - Sept 11, 1998 For those of us lucky enough to get the CBC's 24-hr news and current affairs channel Newsworld, Jian was featured as a panelist on Ralph Benmeurgi's (sp) "Not just the news" program. The program itself looks at somewhat current events by examining actual news coverage and then coutering that with satire. Then the idea is supposed to be that the panel of 'funny' guests offers up their one-liners and sound bites so that everyone can have a good hee-haw regarding the topic. I missed the first 20 minutes or so, but caught the last 20 minutes. Allow me to start off by saying that Ralph Benmeurgi has done many things at the CBC, but I still think he should have stuck to radio. Yesterday's panel was "singer-songwriter" Jian, a journalist, and two comedians both named the same thing (ron?). Jian attempted to get into the action on most every subject, but I can't say that he was entirely successful. IE: When they were discussing the monarchy Jian mentioned that he wanted 'that woman off of our money' (hrm, where have we heard that before?) and suggested rotating different Canadians on the currency. "What about having someone like Sarah McLachlan on our bills?" Ralph replied "Yeah, that would last what, TWO weeks!?" and then promptly moved on the to the next panelist. Ooo... someone got shot down. The one thing I did notice though, is that Jian had difficulties holding his own on the exclusively Canadian topics. I would hate to say why, but would like to offer the following guess... Many of the topics discussed occurred while Fruvous was touring the US. Anyways... I didn't tape the show, but if anyone out there did, I'm sure it'll be in a followup to this post.
