Thank you as well for letting me know > why I tasted foot. :) I certainly didn't mean to belabor (or even belabour)a point about your misunderstanding. When I posted my original remark, I had seen no other corrections posted. The point about the age thing, is that you think of Alice's Restaurant as a song from a movie (because that is your experience of it) as opposed to a song made into a movie (which is what it in fact was). > > > 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. The local > vidoe store has better stuff than all those big chains. The movie is cool (by all means go rent it again), but that is not what "Alice's Restaurant" is about. (Go buy The album if you just want to hear the song.) Practically everyone in the country used to know that song, because it was probably the most artful and articulate protest to come out of the Viet Nam War. As time has gone on, younger generations have had less reason to know about the song, and sometimes even when they do, they fail to understand all of the context in which it was originally sung and the multiple textures and meanings that it evokes. (Can you tell that I REALLY like this song?) :) That you were coming at it as a song from a movie, and that you got confused at the frushow, because you'd only seen the movie once a long time ago, struck me as supremely funny. I've known that song practically by heart since I was 7 years old, I only saw the movie a few years ago, and I've only seen it once too. To me your saying that you didn't remember the song very well because you'd only seen the movie once was almost like a non-sequitur. It made me laugh, and that generated the Summer Young comment. > (Anyone ever seen "The > Rutles"? That some good stuff!!) Of course! It aired for the first time as a television special when I was in like 7th or 8th grade. And I immediately went out and bought the record. It was all the rage among my friends (Who were all intense Beatle fans.) I actually preferred The Rutles to the Beatles for a while and used to get into arguments of the "who's better" variety. I was absolutely tickled when I realized that Rikki Fattar (or however he spells it) who plays Stig O'Hara was the same Rikki Fattar who was with the Beach Boys (another favorite of mine at the time) during much of the Seventies.

My first reaction is YAY! A SHOW IN BALTIMORE! My next reaction was. Ack! It's at The Vault! I've been to the vault. It's an old bank with a few couches and a table set up in the corner to act as "the bar". Mostly really crappy bands that can't get a gig anywhere else play here. Perhaps the place will be okay if it's full of fruheads but I can't guarantee (? - i could never spell that word...) that will be so. I'm sure there is a better place in Baltimore for Moxy Fruvous to play. My house would even be better, in my opinion. And I'm not just saying that b/c I'd like Fruvous to play my house. I'm saying it because, frankly, I think the Vault sucks, and I think the band will be disappointed with it.

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.
