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. Thank you as well for letting me know why I tasted foot. :) > Anyone who doesn't know Alice's Restaurant by heart BTW, should go to the > nearest library or Record store and obtain a copy to listen to and learn. > It is without a doubt one of the most important songs written in the 20th > century. > I am, in fact, going to try to get to the video store this weekend.

I really like that one, though it does not make my Top 5 Frusong list. What is in that list, you might ask? Good question. I'll let you know when I figure it out! ;) Fly and the Drinking Song are always in there, though the other three are subject to change without notice. (Pisco Bandito? Gord's Gold? hmmm...) Like a few others here, I have trouble with the Grunge of Spain; that's the one I inevitably skip on the new CD. The thing grates on my nerves. So do Get in the Car & Medicine Show, to add a couple more to the list of not well liked Frutunes.

Her live shows are great too. Yay! Another Tori fan :o) It's funny, I was just listening to her latest cd when I read your message. But I've never seen her live, though. - -Myllie - -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1998 17:21:09 GMT From: "A.J.
