Just wanted to say that the Katonah show was GREAT - I'm so glad it came together. Our little FruVan NoHo (or, as Beth likes to call it, NoHa) made it to the Harvey School without too many wrong turns. (By the way, for those of you as bad with names as I am, the Smith girls are Caroline (that's me, with the short-short hair), Beth, Julie, and Katie.) We're so glad we got to meet a bunch of you - I can finally put a few names with faces! (And the others are now begging me to help them subscribe to the ng! bwah ha ha...) BTW, I loved Jian's "I dig your boyfriend" t-shirt. I can think of several friends (female AND male) who I'd love to give one of those too... I won't try to rewrite Lori's excellent review, but I'll do a little short version of my own. I did write down a set list, which is as follows (in correct order!): Gotta Get a Message to You BJ Don't Cry (with an "Ashley Judd's son/save the goddamn Hudson" line thrown in) Horseshoes I Love My Boss Spiderman Jian talking about the Clinton fiasco - "What he *should* be impeached for is the lie he's perpetuated: that he's a liberal." Stuck in the 90s Minnie the Moocher ("Time to focus on Chelsea/I think she's a lesbian hooker") at the end of this, everyone slowed down and stopped playing except Jian, who quipped, "Energizer!" (does he usually do this and i'm showing my newness by writing that?) "Towels from Home" spoken thingy - was this improv? Early Morning Rain (can i tell you how much i LOVE the Fruharmonies on this song?) Pisco Bandito Murray's "Wouldn't we all like to have our own little Yoda?" speech Present Tense Tureen Johnny Saucep'n Jian: "I just wanted to remark about the nice gentleman, I think it was Mike, who introduced us by calling our stuff junk. Whatever. I'm sure his music is great too." Mike morphing into Lou Reed - lol Dancing Queen! woo hoo! (Intermission) MBLABOA - "My baby's hooked on/my crucifixion" - Murr River Valley Michigan Militia YWGTTM (preceded by the usual NASA/John Glenn banter) Murray: "we've been performing this song live for a year and a half now, and it's only now that i've realized the parallel between the moon and dave's cranium." Jian (after mentioning the live album to minimal applause, commenting on that, and getting cheers): "Sure, clap for the band that didn't get the claps the first time." I Will Hold On - i think this is my new favorite. is an album version in sight? Jian: "Tonight we're outing ourselves." Ballad of Marion Fruvous (do they always do that "Master of the House" thing? that was wonderful!) Jian's intro to... you guess which song: Ji: "We here at moxy fruvous are a deeply, fervently religious group. That's right... And what those of you who have not seen us live before do not know is that our prophet, our religious leader, our Allah-" murr: "Allah" jian: "i can say that, not you." murr: "sorry." jian: "He sometimes comes onstage. Is it Jesus Christ?" crowd: "No!" "Is it Mohammed?" "No!" "Is it Baha'i-la?" "No!" murr: "Who's that?" ji: "If you'd ever heard of the Baha'i religion, you'd know. Is it the Buddha?" "No!" of course, it was... King of Spain! (everyone jumped up and danced at this point) Green Eggs & Ham (my first time hearing it!!) Love Potion #9 At this point we Smithies shoved the brownies we'd made up onto the stage. The guys noticed them by their feet when they came back for the encore, and thanked us. So that made it worth the trouble of baking (and having to go back to the grocery store twice for ingredients we forgot ). Besides, I made Jian give me a brownie before he left - hey, I was starving. encore: Gulf War Song. of course the fruvirgins laughed at the funny lines, but we in front were just sitting reverently. Ok, enough review. I'd just like to mention that after the show, when ALL the guys came out and talked to us (thanks guys!), and an amusing little dialogue occurred... us: don't forget the brownies! dave: are they... "special" brownies? katie: yeah, they have chocolate chips! of course she was joking. we didn't want them to feel like they weren't special... ;) the next day on our way home, we stopped to buy more Fruvous CDs and bought out two stores (ok, we left them a copy or two). We were also inspired to broaden our musical horizons: I bought a Gordon Lightfoot CD and we debated buying others (Vance Gilbert, etc) but decided we were already coughing up enough money among the four of us to fuel the corporate monopolies (we tried the independent store, but they didn't carry it :( ). Sorry! If we'd had more time we would've asked them to order it, but we needed our Frucraving satisfied before we left town. ;) well, that's enough out of me! ~Caroline driver of FruVan NoHo *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* Truth faced leaves a strange taste When joy and sadness meet A country rain on a city street This life is bittersweet - Moxy Fruvous, "Bittersweet" *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 06:43:20 GMT From: "Jack S.

Also, 1971 at the Highland Park Bowl was the site of Chuck Mangione's Together concert, with the RPO and his band. Tony Levin on bass! I was 10.

Some nitpicky questions, just 'cause I'm unclear: What exactly constitutes a "degree"? Do you count yourself as one degree, or are there zero degrees between you and anyone you know personally? And how personally do you have to know someone (say, the band, in this case - we're not going into any other versions of the game) before you can count them? I mean, I've met all 4 of the guys, introduced myself, spoken to them, gotten their autographs - but only once or twice, and that seems like precious little compared to some of the more hardcore fans here. Would it begin to "count", for instance, only if *they* were to recognize *me* by face or name, or even if they didn't? In the most remote case, I'd still have just one separator (and quite the unusual one at that) between myself and Our Heroes, but still...just trying to figure out if I'm a 0, 1 or 2. k@ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 07:14:16 GMT From: nafio@my-dejanews.com Subject: Re: Grudge koogle@my-dejanews.com wrote: > > It's hard to see any direction, except ballad-y.
