(long and strange) ["Aye, who's asking whom?" Subject: Re: Review of sorts... (long and strange) I really want to thank you, Richard, for writing that and for writing about your pensive recollections and attempt to fight them during Fruvous shows. I know some of you are aware of my various mood-shifts at shows, so I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't simply "get-juiced-the-Lads-are-on" and sometimes can't surrender to the group vibe. I must admit, however, that I still don't like the arm-in-arm swaying trend that goes with the Drinking Song. I was possibly the only person in the crowd on Friday that was not listing latterally, and thus I started to get seasick on solid ground (as Tweety said, "And the wittle boat wocked and wocked..."). I love the song, of course , but I refuse to feign sentimentality over a... okay, real story. I had friend that, after years of being much more stable than I was ("he was a rock"), fell prey to crack. I make a lot of jokes about crack, but a lot of it comes from losing a friend while he was right in front of me. I think about him when I hear that song, and I think about it being my fault that I encouraged him to transfer to my school after he was in the honors program at his school, and within a week he was smoking crack with someone else I was friends with and had no idea was on the Rock. Many of you live in nice places with only the TV versions of drugs. When your favorite pizza parlor gets a constant influx of customers saying "hey, how about one of these for $20?" to the staff, it's more like a nuisance. You see the glaze in the eyes, the whole notion that clock time, let alone a wristwatch, is now wasted on this person trying to convince you a "found" car stereo is worth the price of a baggie or two. When you think about your best friend doing this move to you, it's eerie again. It hardens you: you get used to the idea that regular people fall apart and that you're only a few steps away from such failure. You want to think you're from a higher class of brains, but then your proof turns to smoke. Back to the point, if I had one: it's not a story about a vague possibility for me. I could write an entire story about one night that I visited this friend and the subsequent walk home, how it felt like Orpheus's descent to Hell. So I don't want to hold anyone right then, and I hate thinking about anyone smiling during the song even though it's what your'e supposed to do. Soon as the song is over, I might be able to pick up where I had left off, but that song is as close as this heathen gets to lighting a votive candle. When drunk people chant for the song (and, when I'm lucky, the band votes them down like they did at Styleen's this summer), I wonder if they ever had a rough day in their lives. It's rare that a band hits home, which I guess is why I like Fruvous so much. Most music on the radio is vague or incomprehensible; Fruvous hit the psychological nodes other bands can't even recognize. Yet this power should not be lost on us fans. BJ escapes his blue funk, Johnny Saucep'n buys the restaurant, and a rock buys the farm. - -MTV makes me wanna smoke..., Dante ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 05 Nov 1998 23:26:24 -0500 From: Chad Schrock Subject: Re: height as measured in Cchads (was: A NoHo review) Srm9988n@aol.com wrote: > > Aaack!

I just had a rather disturbing dream the other night that Mike lived next door to me, but he kept beating me up! So I pretended to move away, but one day I was looking out the window ( to check on Mike, because I still thought he was cool, even though he beat me up.) and he saw me and started running across the yard, shouting. And I started screaming and freaking out, 'cause he was in my house, coming after me, then I woke up. Luckily, I could laugh about it when I woke up. ~Joni ~~~~~~~~~~ "Who will you be when you're finally who you are? Well, we'll see, won't we?

I'd just been told the other day that there were no advance ticket sales at the Rivoli, and that it had a capacity of about 100, so I'd probably be better off not even making the trip and risking not getting in at all. I don't know how true any of that was, but it did discourage me a bit, since I don't know when I'll next be able to see a show and I had already started planning my calendar around FrüCon. This gives me much more hope. Thank you again, guys, for deciding to accommodate more of us. k@ Now I just need to figure out how to come up with some MONEY. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #968 ********************************************
