Oh Chad, thank you for saying this, because I totally agree, and I was actually going to say something about it. I have just been having a really horrible week, and every day when I come home, I am so grateful that I have this newsgroup to read, because someone always manages to come up with something that makes me smile. > Also, we are very tolerant of each other's views and ideas. And this I am very grateful for, too. Going to a Catholic high school is often a bit frustrating, because it is frowned upon if we express views outside those of the church ("What? You can't be pro-choice. And OF COURSE gay people can't get married. What were you THINKING?"). And being a teenager, friends that actually _care_ about politics are few and far between. (I'm not saying they don't exist, but I only know one other person in my class that reads the newspaper). >Speaking of which, something that is glaring in its absence is >an ongoing flamefest over which is the coolest/best/most >talented/cutest/etc FruLad.

I have been sitting here for quite a while, and I can't think of a way to adequately put into words how privileged I feel to be a fan of Fruvous. Every time they do something extra for their fans, I am reminded of how great they are, and then they go and do something else even better. Chad, you just said it really well, so I'm not going to say anything else. love Lizzie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Nov 1998 00:34:40 GMT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Re:Can we get all four, folks?

He is a really sweet person, I'd love to see Dan again in circumstances where I can really appreciate his show. He did a good job under pretty bad conditions last night, and I didn't mean to imply that he didn't. He had us all grooving (or at least shuffling feet) for several songs and did some (intentional) audience participation riffs. I was just sad to witness so much disrespect by so-called fans for both a performer and his potential new audience. It doesn't help an artist at all when fans act like self-absorbed morons, and the contrast between these people's behavior and that of those attending Fruvous concerts is stark. I will gladly declare myself a Fruhead, but if being a Danhead (or whatever they call themselves) puts me in the same group as those people, no thanks. I'll just enjoy his work quietly, without bothering to go on a ng, share thoughts with them, or gather with them in celebration of all things Dan. (Or the Fruheads who also like Dan could just form their own chapter. ) - -- Lori . ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 08 Nov 1998 00:41:41 GMT From: petit_chou@juno.com Subject: Re: Can we get all four, folks? Jude sez: "Winter is hiems"...or, rather, Jude's highly specialized, low-priced Latin-English/English-Latin Dictionary (ACTUALLY used in today's schools? Wow.) sez that. Good luck finding someone named HEIMS. (But if someone's name was HAMISH, regardless if it's derived from HEIMS, I would be so excited.) chad sez: "invierno is Spanish, French, and Portuguese for winter. (Which should be reasonably close to winter in Latin, since they are all Latin based languages.)" Funny thing you mention that, chad. We happen to speak all three of those languages in my house, as well as Latin (my dad), and he just couldn't remember the Latin word for "winter." If it is indeed HEIMS, then how come that sounds nothing like invierno? My only guess is that they abandoned the use of the Latin word for that one and instead went for the opposite of "VIERNES" which is Spanish and Portuguese for Spring. You know, in-viernes. Dig? So the root "vern" makes total sense there. Also, the French word for winter is "HIVER" (damn that Alta-vista translator), which is kinda like "not-vern," on a very base level. But then why is the Italian "Primavera" so freaking long when it's roots are in Latin more so than any of these other blasted languages? And the French is "Printemps?" Ack! Linguistics is SO cool to me. Enough of this, says Heather. Ummmmm...Fruvous content...searching...*FOUND*...As many of you know, I work for Barnes & Noble, and we just opened a new store in Woodinville, WA. So, my friend went into the music section, and, just for me, checked to see if they had Moxy Fruvous and...lo and behold, THEY DID! Woo-hoo! There is some comfort in the fact that the corporate masses that enslave me are not all bad.
