What I like about this song (amongst other things) is that it just gets mushier and mushier until even I have to be mildly teary. That coming from someone who's sentivity was forever f*cked up by technical film courses (and who can't even cry during One True Thing).

Mine requires a little bragging on myself, so I apologize for that. As background, I'm the guy my friends and co-workers come to with questions about music, because I can usually answer them (my collection is about 5,000 albums, and I sadly have no life outside of music). So I say: "Imagine the Beatles crossed with Firesign Theater put into four guys, each of whom knows more about pop music than I do." I say 'Beatles' because they're the best songwriters and singers ever. I say 'Firesign Theater' because of intelligence that makes you laugh AND think. It may not be a great description, but it sure makes people interested in hearing the lads. - --tc - -- "Trying is the first step to failure." -- Homer Simpson ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1998 17:02:10 GMT From: "Schwan, Phil" Subject: Need an email Hey, does anyone have Sharilyn (Fruchick) Johnson's email address?

Well, and basketball I guess... Illinois has radio stations worth listening to. But Indiana has the largest of all college chapels, at the infamous Valparaiso University. So infamous that even some people outside of Indiana might have heard of it. Maybe. Indiana also has Goshen, its "close but no cigar" version of Oberlin. Hmm, come to think of it, it's Ohio and Indiana that are *really* hard to tell apart. A friend of mine who went to college in Indiana for a while once told me, "there really is a difference, there's a kind of rivalry going - the people in Indiana and Ohio each look down on the other state." I asked, "why, because they're so completely the same that they have to have a rivalry to hide it?". She said, "well, yeah." She did teach me how to tell the difference between Mennonite and non-Mennonite farms, as we were driving around county routes. But that doesn't help you figure out if you're in Indiana or Ohio, they both have Mennonites (and Illinois doesn't, does it?). And county routes. I guess you can look at the Interstate signs. The numbers may not help - if you see "80/90" you know you must be in IN or OH but not which one. However, if the next "big city" on the mileage signs has a name that starts with a C, you're probably in Ohio. Toledo was just named that way to fool people into thinking they're in Indiana. After all, it's the northwest corner of OH, so it's not part of OH, just like the northwest corner of IN isn't part of IN. If Ohio has a secret to lure more tourists, I have no idea what it is. -- Cos (Ofer Inbar) -- cos@leftbank.com cos@cs.brandeis.edu -- The Left Bank Operation -- lbo@leftbank.com http://www.leftbank.com/ "You have 2 messages.
