Yes that's what the recent thread was about. But if anyone caught Jason Reiser's post as the "What a bunch of smarties" thread died off and morphed into Katie's hunt for a name, he made an allusion to a much older thread. I'm not entierly sure how the subject first came up, but it probably has to do with the number of chocolate and junk-food lovers on this newsgroup. (I think actually someone made allusion to "Do you eat the red ones last?" an age-old Smarties ad) Anyway, somehow or other the fact came out that Americans and Canadians both have Smarties but it means something totally different in each country. In Canada, Smarties are a candy-coated chocolate, similar to M&M's but with many more colours and a better taste. Apparently those rolls of sugar candies that look more or less like chewable Tylenol (in my mind anyway)are called Smarties in the States. Then there was debate as to the name of this sugar stuff.. Smarties, Rockets or Spree. Smarties are just one of the chocolate candies that are unavailable in the States, and it's starting to become a "thing" that we bring down anything from Cherry Coke (go to deja news and see if you can find the tale of the "Canadian Coke" that was bought in massive quantities by a couple of Fruheads last September) to Coffee Crisps, to Smarties.. either for the band as a "taste of home" or to help the poor sugar-deprived Americans.

Can someone confirm or deny this rumor please!?!?! If it _is_ true... does ANYONE happen to have at least 1 spare ticket that I can buy?? I'm willing to pay _double_ for it.

Ok, I'm another old timer. My first show was in 1974 at the Allen Theatre in Cleveland. We were big fans of the opening band Queen who were on their "KeepYourself Alive" tour. Unfortunatly, Freddie Mercury was sick and the band had to cancel and what I ended up with was Kanas opening with Mott the Hoople as the headliners. We were sorry to have missed Queen, but the other two bands put on a show that will always live in my memory as being one of the best show I've ever attended. LeSystemeD wrote: > Oh, all right.

The newer ending is great, and I love the bridge section. Slight single potential, as well. SLEEPY DRINKER. Ok, I don't like this song. I'm glad it's been hiding in the closet lately. It's fun a couple of times, but I don't see very much lasting appeal to it. It just seems to drag on to me. It's too bad because this is the only Mike song of the batch. I WILL HOLD ON. Love it. Sure, it's sappy. Sure, it's radio-ready. But damnit, it's a good sappy radio-ready song! The song flows very well, and has memorable lyrics. Now, if they can just enunciate the "OFF" clearly, it won't sound like the chorus is contradicting itself! :) HALF AS MUCH. I saw the first playing of this song at MIT. I hated it. The guitar part was really cheesy, the flow was bad, and it just didn't click. I saw it a couple more times after that. Each time was an improvement over the last, but I still didn't like it. But when they played it in Columbus with the new(est) arrangement, wow! This big wall of sound, great lyrics finally coming through, nice textures. The comeback kid! This song reminds me of Get In The Car and Your New Boyfriend, except several times deeper and smarter. PISCO BANDITO. Who doesn't love this one? It's fun, it's Murray, and it's about a fish. Come on! My only complaint is that Murr dropped the Noodle bridge. I loved that part! GRUDGE. Wow! It's still new to me, but I *LOVE* this song. There's some serious songwriting happening here. It sounds a lot like something Ben Folds Five would write. Too bad this song relies on piano so much, it may be a live rarity. ("I don't have a breaking point, I'm quite in control.. thank you very much!" :) And songs that probably don't count... FOLLOW THE ROAD (Jian). AAAUUUGHHH! I can only hope this song at least becomes another Lee. I don't see how they could make a full band version of this song, but GOD I hope he records it. This is my favorite "Fruvous" song by far. GET DOWN FROM THERE (Mike). A great mood song, a la Minnie. Nice and swingy. I could maybe see a full-band version of this, but I doubt that Mike would want to release this, being so personal and all. MY POOR GENERATION (Dave). Not bad, but it never captivated me. I There's no way I could see a full-band version here, though. IF ONLY YOU KNEW. They've been playing this song a little, so it may qualify in this batch. I love it. Mike pours his heart out. Great tune. That should cover it. :) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Josh Woodward, CheEsy Fru. joshw@mail.bgsu.edu Web Site and Tape List: http://www.dc-adnet.com/joshw/ "It's just a tender blind spot, not the ruination of your soul." -- Peter Mulvey ------------------------------ Date: 21 Nov 1998 17:44:23 GMT From: bbwminors@aol.com (BBWMinors) Subject: Re: Smarties Favorite candy ...

I enjoy "Sahara" on You Will Go To the Moon, but I was puzzled by the vagueness and generality of the lyrics. Moxy Fruvous lyrics tend to be about *something*, though it may be unobvious at first. These lyrics seemed to hover a few feet off the ground, with some disturbing culture clashes. Whiskey, hi-de-ho, and a band playing don't mesh with images of desert vastness and loneliness. Who could drink whiskey at screamin' forty-five degrees (on your Celsius scale, of course). One thing that set me thinking was the incongruous "at the Sahara" in the third verse (as opposed to "in the Sahara" in the other verses). People don't generally say "At" a desert..."In" makes much more sense. You might be "at" a ... a ... a hotel casino, for example. A defunct hotel casino, one frequented by The Rat Pack (http://members.xoom.com/drbmbay/indexn.html), for example. This key seemed to unlock the whole song for me. It's still weird, but weird with a point. Imagine poor old Joey Bishop, mourning the passing of Frank and Dino and Sammy, estranged from Peter...lamenting the lost days of power and adulation; days spent at the Sands or the Sahara, itself now just a memory, a gold empire burned to the ground...or was it just...the Mirage, a short way down the strip?
