Ha! Thought you concealed that cleverly enough so that I might not notice, didn't you? Now I'm trying to remember what you're biting at - was it the long strange story? What the heck, here goes. Basically, my parents thought they made up my name, but (fortunately for me) it turned out that they didn't. My mom's name is Karen. Her grandfather was from Italy, and he always pronounced it Katrin. Later on, my parents were looking for a German-sounding name that went well with Luessenheide, and they settled on Katrin, still thinking that it was just a mispronunciation but liking the sound of it. When my family moved to North Dakota, we discovered that it's actually neither Italian nor German, but Norwegian. I've met one other Katrin and a Katrien (pronounced the same), both of whom went by Katie, which I don't; and one girl whose middle name was Katrin, and who was never sure how to pronounce it until she met me. I've also known of two fictional characters who share the name. And last year, I worked in the same office with a Katrine and a Catrina - that was lots of fun. I like my name a lot now, though it wasn't always so. My family has Katrin, Gretchen and Ingrid, and I used to envy the neighbors who were Susie, Debbie and Kathy. Worse, my parents stuck me at birth with a nickname I always hated (don't even ask; even my husband had to find out by accident from my grandpa) and that took a lot of work to get rid of. Frü-content: I'll say it again - one of the (many!) things that endeared me to Jian forever is that he pronounced my name correctly the first time he met me. Obviously, he understands firsthand that some people *care* about these things. :) Two days 'til the Roxy! *bounce* *bounce* *bounce* k@ ------------------------------ Date: 5 Jan 1999 19:12:03 GMT From: bbwminors@aol.com (BBWMinors) Subject: Re: Names that don't bite Wasn't the daughter in the book "Mama's Bank Account" (on which the movie "I Remember Mama" was based in the late 40s) named Katrin?

Unfortunately, Time Out NY probably NEVER saw Moxy Fruvous play. They have a habit (as has been my experience with listings) that IF they decide to list you at all, they will just write a blurb based on what the news release made them feel. It sucks and many of us in the ent. business who rely on listings get so angry when Time Out editorializes and "reviews" the show in the listings without having seen it. It's really bad journalism. Don't believe anything Time Out writes, unfortunately.

(i really think i'm losing my mind here... but i dunno what i'd do > if i was in that situation and not be able to see the frulads when they > were in my home town) Quite honestly, I'm getting a really BIG red flag about this girl. If you don't know her, I'd be EXTREMELY cautious. There are a LOT of freaks in this town who do anything to scam off everyone else. If you feel you want to help her get into the show, I would pay for her ticket and leave it at the box office, but let her find her own way there. Trust me. A friend of mine gave a person who lives in my building a courtesy ride to meet a friend of hers, and the woman ended up making a drug deal and then smoking crack in my friend's car on the way home! Since there are more messed up people in this town per capita than anywhere else, you really can't be as nice here as you can practically everywhere else. People here will take advantage of anyone they can, and since this girl is willing to let another total stranger not only pay for her ticket, but hitch a ride with said stranger, I gotta wonder where this girl's friends are. The show is only $10, after all. I would NEVER get in a car in LA with someone I don't know. That's a good way to end up dead. Nope. I would just renig on your offer (It's OK. You don't know her, and she'll forget about you instantly when she realizes you're not a sucker,) go with the friends you know, and have a great time! After all, that's why you're coming here, isn't it? She can meet you at the show if she's legit. Promise me you're not going to pick up a stranger in LA? Otherwise, I'm going to worry constantly about you! > :::every *thursday* hit the Roxy::: I'll be there! I want to wish everyone who's traveling to the show to have a safe journey!

As someone who mainly listens to both Fruvous and Dan, it has been an interesting week of mailing list reading. In case anyone is interested, by the way, discussion of Fruvous on the Dan Bern list this week has been limited, but very positive, mostly about the stuff they played togeather. Most of what I would say has already been written, but I wanted to make a couple of comments. First, I think the "new Dylan" tag is not well placed on Dan. While the obvious similarities are present, his underlying writing style is very different. Dan is a very "in your face/make you notice/anti-taboo" kind of writer. Not just in the use of profanity, but throughout all his lyrics. Some of his most powerful songs, like Lithuania and Swoosh, are also equally as shockng for the straight ahead manner in which he addresses the topics of his family being shot in the streets and the murderous greed of companies like Nike. Just as I wouldn't play some of his profane songs for my daughter yet, I wouldn't play Lithuania for her either, because I am not sure she could handle the explanation of that one. I think putting people on edge and sometimes making them uncomfortable is a powerful artistic tool. I think this is what makes him standout as a writer. He will challenge you in similar ways that poets and writers do, where you may not like, agree, or be comfortable with everything they say, but it starts conversations, maybe even arguments, and makes you think, and I think that can be healthy. Also, remember that Dan is a writer, and doesn't necessarily agree with or support everything he says in his songs. I think he thrives on this. One time when he played for a group that was studying to be cantors, he sang a song called "my little swastica." Also, there is usually, if not always, a point to it all, the song Tiger Woods makes a powerful statement about machismo in society, it is not just about a guy having big balls. At the same time, I agree that sometimes the "shock value" distracts from a song. In many songs the profanity or other blatent word usage is essential to the song and it would sound silly without it. and i don't have a problem with any of these. But in other cases, it does distract because people get focused on what is essentially a throw away line in what is otherwise a great song. The song that has been discussed is probably the best example of that. Funny that I am defending his use of profanity here, after being the scurge of the Dan list for a while because I suggested that Dan might have resisted playing Missing Link at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival because of all the kids there. I wasn't at the New Year's eve shows, but noticed when Jason commented: > In a lot of the songs he departed somewhat from the standard arrangement > and lyrics and just had fun. For someone who knows and appreciates > the song, this is a blast. Just as a "newbie" listening to Fruvous... I know there was discussion here almost a year ago when Jian commented to someone, after ng people kept asking for more rarities, that it was a difficult balance to keep the hardcore fan happy by diversifing the set and also make the shows accessables to new listeners who may have just heard the albums or a song on the radio. Well Dan got to that crossroads and made a very difinitive decision to play to his fans. And as Jason said, for someone who listens to a lot of shows, this is great. In a typical show, he may play as many as five songs that are brand new, less than a week old. During his recent summer tour, he played something like 120 different songs in 15 nights, only playing a few songs at as many as three or four shows. When he writes new songs, he just goes ahead and plays them, if he doesn't like the way they sound, he drops them and writes more. There is no keeping something undercovers until it is perfected. He also spices things up by changing the songs he "has" to play a lot. He has many different ways of singing his regular songs like Tiger Woods and Marylin, from spoken word to country hic, plus I've heard at least three different styles of singing Louis, which is an alternative lyrics version of Marylin. If you are going to go to a lot of concerts, or listen to a lot of tapes, this makes for very interesting listening. My wife sometime asks me why I need more than a couple tapes of live Dar Wiliams shows, because pretty much any concert sounds the same as any other one. And I have a hard time arguing against this. But it is certainly not the case with Dan, where no two concerts sound a like. Fruvous makes every concert unique primarily through the banter, Dan does it through the songs. thats about all I have time to write now. I hope that people will contimue to give Dan a chance. It took about three months before I started to like his music. Then once I did, I really loved it.
