I'm blonde. I'm half Ji-head. AND DAMNED PROUD OF IT! Why do I like him? Well, let's see...he's on my list of artists who have managed to say first things the way I would say them, he has an awesome singing voice, he's a talented percussionist and guitarist, need I say more? Yes, I do like the way he looks, but you know what? That's really not why I'm a Jihead. Yes, it's what attracted me to him in the first place, but if he wasn't the musician he is, the attraction would have faded. Quickly. I'm a musician myself, so I have very little respect for boy-bands who eke by on their looks. Why would I give him different service? Dig it: the man's talented, social and looks good. It understandably stigmatizes him (and some of his fans), but that's sad. Lay off. - -J writing a song called the Ballad of Jill V.

Luella and whoever else responded to that: I do not know you. I have no problem with you being a Jian's People. I've met all the lads, and they are all equally nice and friendly and I completely understand someone taking a liking to one particular member. The "Jian's People" who respect him for an artist and a human are not the people I refer to when I use the term. I refer to the people who run up to Murray or Mike or Dave, and don't even say "hello", but scream "WHERE IS JIAN!?!?" I refer to the three 12-year old girls who scream right in the middle of a set "I LOVE YOU JIAN!!!" and interrupt the music. I refer to the people who don't go to see Fruvous for their music, or their amazing chemistry, but solely for a glance of Jian's pectorals. Luella and whoever else, if you do these things, yes, I would call you a fishgirl. I admit to at one time being a Jian's people, for all of those reasons you stated, Luella. I'm no longer a "Jian's People", I'm a "Fruvous's People", but I IN NO WAY look down upon or get annoyed by "Jian's people", or "Dave's People", or "Murray's People, or "Mike's People." I was just stating a definition of the term I had heard from someone else. - -Mocksie "By a stream of running water, I heard you laugh.

I'm from the SE part of Minnesota, right on the Mississippi River which divides MN from WI. This part is extremely hilly because of the hills that the Mississippi has cut thru its many eons of developing. My hometown even had a SKI RESORT with "downhill" skiing!! And there was another ski area not more than 60 miles away. Once you got out of the "River Valley" however, things flattened into the cornfields and rolling humpies that you are referring to. (Have to protect my hills!! Ok, so they're not mountains...oh well.)

Ask Cookie if you don't believe me. I believe you! In case you don't know yet (you do now!) I'm from around there myself. We never really set out to visit any of those places, but it did always sort of weird me out to hear people mention the names of *real* towns like "Mankato" on the TV show. The sugar-in-the-snow thing, BTW, I first read about in a book (it was part of an old series from, I think, Nat'l Geographic) called "French Canadian Children." They referred to the frozen candylike stuff as "la tira" or something like that.

Well just sorta > rambling, thats all I guess thanks all Hey, nice to meet you last night (I was the girl talking to Tobey with the short blond hair and glasses...). I dunno if I have any advice...I would say you're doing quite well! Just don't be afraid to talk to people. Because I was, and I didn't know anybody, and I felt out of it. (And, yes, I'm still guilty of this. I recognise people and I can't introduce myself...so don't be like me!!!) But I got to know a couple of people and they knew people and now I feel like I live up to the Murray quote ("First we were the reason, then the excuse, now we're just irrelevant") because I go to shows for the people! (Of course, hearing things like the off-mic GWS make it worth it too...but even if it was the same show every single night, I would go to as many shows as I could to see everybody.) Okay. I'm totally rambling, but I just got my computer back after five days of brokenness and I feel in touch again! love Lizzie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Dec 1999 02:12:01 GMT From: SugarFly26@aol.com Subject: Re: Fruheads unite and..Calm DOWN J seemed a tad upset while posting: And Ln trying to make light of it says, Geez, why doesn't anyone post the positive things in my guestbook? :) - --------------> Ln ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #987 ********************************************
