It's a role-reversal from what society generally expects men's and women's behavior and motivations in these situations to be. (Woman as romantic in search of "love", man as opportunist or even predator). Yet another reason why I find its biting cynicism enchanting -- the writer acknowledges that men and women have much more in common emotionally than the roles we are expected to play during the mating dance would indicate -- and that a disillusioned woman can be every bit as calculating and predatory as a disillusioned man. - -- Lori ------------------------------ Date: 29 Aug 1999 17:27:28 GMT From: dedesfru1@aol.com (DeDes Fru1) Subject: Re: Chad's Itinerary and Insanity?

(The way i feel is similar to the person who said Fountains of Wayne would have done When She Talks better.)

I've seen Fruvous in Country, Rock\Pop, Alternitive, Jazz, Folk, World, and once in Classical but I think that was just a practical joke by some employee. (considering the CD was Live Noise) I think it is difficult classifying Fruvous music into just one genre. True most of the songs are Rockish Poppy Folk but they don't really have a sound that you can compare with most of the other bands in the genre. True TMBG is pretty close and some of the eariler stuff of BNL as well as the older music by Crash Test Dummies. In my review of Fruvous for the school website I described it as "part rock, part a cappella, part folk, part something-or-other." Fruvous IS Fruvous! Unique, original, catchy, Canadian, bred of ever changing media and political spectrum.

Morally, it's not that great, but financially, it was wonderful! $15 apiece for the tickets with four reserved seating tickets thrown in free! People are great... When we last left our heroes, they had their tickets, had their gear, their car was parked, all that was left to do was to go in. That was easier said then done. The whole experience would have been a lot easier to handle if there wasn't this five-year-old kid behind us that kept trying to kill Not Dave, who is quickly becoming the Steph and Bender mascot... Not Dave eventually had to be deflated. After watiting around for what seemed to be an eternity, we handed in our evil, illegal tickets that we are sure to be damned to hell for, and went inside. Steph, who is writing this with me, just got into her "Leah, if you keep being this facetious, I'm gonna do somethng not-nice to you" mode, so I think I'm gonna try and hold back... Okay. So there was food. And we had our reserved seats. And I didn't recognize Trace and felt like a moron. The Irish fiddle chick royally rocked. That vocal quartet was brutal. Loudon Wainright was awesome. That salsa band was loud. Ran into Lizzie by the port-o-potties. We talked. Talk is nice. So is Lizzie. Got a Tylenol. Okay, finally, the part you wanted to hear abour from the beginning.... The guy with the moustache who was trying to fill space until Früvous came on was so desperate for material that I felt sorry for the guy... But those chicken jokes were brutal. The whole time, Jian kept peeking out from backstage... that is, until one roadie apparently got fed up and closed the black curtain... Finally, at about eleven-thirtyish, they guys came on and sang some song about Philadelphia... if anyone has any idea what that was, please, tell me or Steph!!! Then, they did Half as Much. I love that song... and it's been stuck in my head ever since. The next song was introduced as "a song about Canadian-American relations sung under the veneer of a superficial tune about an armchair". Yup! Lazy Boy!!!! I have to admit, sheepishly, that I squealed. If you make any "Bender and squeal" puns, I'm going to have to hurt you. But Lazy Boy was great! One of my favorite songs! Then came Minnie the Moocher... one of the verses was about the physical effects of jumping into a cold river (hehe), another was about George W. Bush and a "bowl of nose candy". Jian, didn't stop drumming afterwards, and said, "Energizer!" and put on a very demented smile. Jian: Grampa Früvous, written 30 minutes before the show Dave: Or your pizza is free Jian: Or we beat him up Mike: It's a good gig! Then there was some banter about Murray being good at lacrosse and sideburns, then I Will Hold On. After that was My Poor Generation. Murray gave the intro to that, and at one point, Jian mimicked everything Murray said almost perfectly. It was, to quote Steph, "Disturbing but extremely cool". Three of my favorites already... wow. Then Dave improvised some song about bison, then Mike did a little improvised song about Delaware, "You put fences around the alleged lowest highest point... In DELAWAAAAAAAARE!" Then they moved on to Johnny Saucep'n... Which, as Steph and I have concluded, lists all the ingredients in a Big Mac. Then, there were some technical difficulties Murray: It's the folk god saying that keyboards have no place at folk festivals So, they did Splatter Splatter. "The Wonderful Hillary" was overjoyed. Then, they did Get in the Car instead of Michigan Militia. Apparently, Murray was informed of this at about the same time the audience was. For the encore, they did Dancing Queen, then The Drinking Song... The guys looked pretty amused when people complied when Jian said "Let me see your lighters!". At some points of this song, and I know this was only my second concert but... Not one person in the audience made a sound during said parts of the song... I just found that completely amazing... and very moving. I'll leave it up to Steph to summarize it... she's the one that's good with words: "All right, I'll do it... I'm thinking, I'm thinking... Give me a second, I want to write this out... Ugh! Hold on! Hello? You still there? Okay, hold on again. Okay, this is what I have so far. After The Drinking Song, it was clear that the show was over. It had been a long night with many great acts, with Früvous being the grand finale. On the long car ride home, all agreed that, even though they had only been on an hour, it was definitely an hour worth remembering. End. That's all I have. Oh, yeah, did you mention the thing about Jian steaming? What do you mean? He STEAMED! Jian was hot, literally! There was steam wafting off of him! I know we made these puns last night... That was so great! NO! Don't put that! I wish I had gotten a picture, though... That would have been an awesome picture... Oh, crap! This is going in the review?!?!?!" Finally.

Potter said: >She realizes all too well that what she's doing isn't going to lead to any >happiness or fulfillment, yet, at the immediate time, that's not a concern. Okay, here's all my reasons for thinking Juliet knows exactly what's going on here, is aware of what she's doing and in the end is *not* the one left most disappointed. a) the first refrain of "... and now you're paid in full Who'd have known you would be so predictable ... ... it's all you bargained for, shouldn't have wanted more... " comes after Romeo's verse and seems quite clearly to reflect on that. It is reprised after the second verse, true, but I think it's to emphasize the disparity between their points of view. b) Furthermore, in Juliet's verse she: 1) accepts a second beer -- encouraging flirtation from someone, who I interpret as being Romeo. 2) spends a laugh on a half-bad joke -- putting up with this guy because she has her eye on a better prize than just his lame humor. 3) jerks her chair near -- indicating interest; if she viewed him as the annoying horny slob Angie posited in another post, she'd *probably* not encourage him like this. 4)hears the lies behind the lines --- tells me that she knows quite well what's going on here; his lines aren't fooling her 5) then she "knows the glove on the hand ..." etc. I always thought it was Romeo's hand because this phrase comes after the beer, the laughing, the pulling the chair close, the bs lines -- but ultimately it doesn't matter whose hand it is. Juliet knows well the game she's playing, and she plays anyway. To me, the phrasing of the second verse also seems much more self-aware on Juliet's part. We see both Romeo and Juliet in the third person, but we know Romeo does NOT see himself as he is depicted -- a lumbering drunken horny oaf, oblivious to what anyone else might be observing. Otoh I get the feeling we are watching Juliet *almost* from her own pov -- as if she is experiencing one of those detached, standing-outside-herself-watching moments. As if we are her alter ego, sitting on her shoulder observing her and everyone *she's* observing. > Why couldn't have senior English class been this fun?

This was when the guys were complaining about the fact that they weren't scheduled for any workshops, so Jian informed the audience that during their "signing session" the next day, they'd be doing one-on-one workshops with people. I believe Dave was going to be workshopping on the topic, "Cooking meat." I can't remember what Mike's workshop was to be, but Jian was workshopping "Bad Relationships." "Been dumped badly? Dumped someone recently?" He was apparently going to cover both issues in his workshop. Murray was initially going to workshop "Sideburns," but claimed to only be "ok" with sideburns, so it was switched to "Lacrosse," which is Canada's national sport, and in which Murray claimed to have been ranked 3rd at his highschool.
