Its one of those milestones in life. Year 1: life is new, everything is bliss, eat, sleep, mumble, spit up, and do whatever the hell you want.. someone else always cleans up the mess. Life is great. Year 13: congratualtions you have hormones. :-) Year 18: (or is it 16) you can legally smoke (if thats your thing), get married (unless you below the mason dixon line in which case its probably more like 12), get drafted and fight and die for your country in glorious battle. Year 21: you can drink, whoopie! Year 25: you can rent a car! woo hoo! party hats all around!!! Anyways, if you were to get rid of it, there would be nothing to look foreward to after you turn 21 'cept the pine box ;-). Besides, you can rent a car before you turn 25, all you need do is turn over your first born and both your pinkies(do you know how hard it is to type w/o your pinkies?). Seriously, I am not 25 and I have rented cars many times, its just a hell of a lot more expensive since they tack on this "under 25" tariff which effectively doubles the cost.

Um...sorry...just my opinion. I agree, that a song like Fly is certainly more *moving* than "Don't Let's Start" (and it's a better song as well). But after listening to Fly or any other "sad" Fruvous song, I don't feel sad, I feel calm and peaceful, like I've just been touched by something beautiful. You know that feeling that you get after having a long cry? That's what I liken my feelings about Fly to: I don't feel all that happy, but I certainly don't feel sad. TMBG songs don't seem to *me* to have the same amount of heartfelt emotion behind them [1]. For this reason I find them depressing, NOT in the "sobbing-up-in-your-bedroom-writing-poems-to-your-cat" sense of the word, but in the *clinical* sense of the word. [Is this as clear as mud? Sorry, I'm having some trouble articuating my ideas today :-)] > And where exactly do you live? TMBG not being known? This is unheard > of. When I was in fifth grade, sure, no one had any clue. But now, most > people (to whom I would bother mentioning Moxy Fruvous) quickly catch the > reference that I'm making. Hm. I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta. TMBG aren't known up here. They never tour in this area, and they don't get any radio play. Please, just trust me on this one :-)!
