(Fri June 16) Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 21:29:35 EDT I'm new here and out of the loop. What is MMM? Is that something in Canada? I've never seen any of their videos, and I don't know where to look. Help? Thanks! Lisa MMM is a music video station in Canada called MuchMoreMusic. It's owned by the same man/company who/that owns MuchMusic, except the music is a leetle bit into the easy listening/semi-country/some celtic/crooner r&b and that sort of thing. Also, not all of Canada gets this station (it's a cable provider issue). I have MMM though, and I'll be on the lookout for the video. As for music videos, I don't have any either, so I can't help you there. Sorry.

Hey all, i couldn't resist posting this email i just got, its funny shite. oh ya! i saw the Sad Girl video on MMM the other day... ROCK!! but Jian with his new 'do looks way too much like that ass from Oasis.... 'tis disturbing! :) Question: Why did the chicken cross the road? CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before. ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability. DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes! The chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told! PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American. ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain. RONALD REAGAN: What chicken? EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken? SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it. FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it? FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity. BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook - -and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken. BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by "chicken"? Could you define "chicken" please? GEORGE W. BUSH I don't think I should have to answer that question. LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down. THE BIBLE: And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question! GRANDPA: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us! JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what "they" call it-the "other side." Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." That chicken should not be free to cross the road. It's as plain and simple as that.

I heard one guy a few blankets in front of me comment, "He's the only one ever been able to keep up" ^_^ Guess I'll conglomerate a review of the rainy day 2 into this thread...because I can :Þ Now, keep in mind that this was not only my first Fruconcert, but my first concert in general, and despite having lived in Ossining (about five min. tops from Croton Point Park) my entire life, this was my first Clearwater. So I'm gonna be a bit biased... And my two Fruconverts and I decided we are doing this every year ^_^|/ Anywho, *lots* of onstage banter on the second day...Vance Gilbert got off on time, however Tanglefoot ("The Other Canadian Band") took about 20min to set up...despite that, they were done on time ^_^ Then Moxy took THIRTY MINUTES to set up...my feet were directly in the mud the entire time. Great stuff ^_^ Then they came on stage, and throughout their extended show had *consierable* energy and enthusiasm. Murray was off the hook, to say the least, and Jian couldn't stay still for the life of him ^_^ Something of a set list (from what I can randomly recall): - -Splatter^2 (opening) - -something off C (Pisco Bandito IIRC) - -Horseshoes - -I Will Hold On - -You Will Go to the Moon - -Michigan Milita - -The Kids' Song ("Do you have a gender bias?" "My sister has three!" The band looks at Murray strange, then he walks over to Mike and whispers in the cutest voice, "I see dead people." ^o^ Definite highlight of the show) - -Heatseaker Boy (IIRC) - -MBLABOA - -Psycho Killer (closing) I'm sure there was more to the set, but that's all I can remember, and out of order at that ^_^ Anywho, to say the least, they had the audience rolling on the floor the entire show. At one point, the randomly broke into a familar song--and had the audience subconciously singing along. Not a single one of us realized it was, "Baby One More Time" until we got to the actual lyrics, "Hit me baby one more time" ^_^ Quite pitiful on our part...yet all in good fun ^_^ Anywho, the croud totally loved them and the Frulads made the most of it...for the love of God, tell me there's someone out there with a bootleg; particularly of, "The Kids' Song" ^_^ This five minute hack review brought to you by your friendly neighborhood psuedoregular, miyax® ^_^|/ - -- miyax, the Evil and Sinister Prime Minister of the Silver Millennium turnip-rat-ant-type person neko-musume minx rabbit Admiral of Starfleet Queen of wosisname planet (bwa ha ha) _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ the Interesting Link of the Month hq @ http://secondhandwonder.virtualave.net "93.Which of the following does not belong?

This review will be a bit less complete than the Day 1 review, as the lure of the dancing proved too great, and I abandoned the notes on the blanket ;-) The band on before them (Tanglefoot?): "I have to say, I have a little fruvous envy, and I'm man enough to admit it." Another band member: "We all do, [insert name of first band member here], we all do..." here's how the show went: - --They come out, with Jian singing "Dead or Alive," and we are promised a show full of songs by Bon Jovi. It is noted that today's crowd is "smaller but heartier" than yesterday's. Murray points out that "the rain separated the real folk fans from the dilitantes." Jian mentions that yesterdays show was a fun, upbeat, great set, so today they're only aiming for high medium. - --Splatter Splatter (Murray mentions that his favorite part of that song was seeing the ASL sign for head exploding ;-) - --Horseshoes (from their second album, Slippery When Wet, which sold 11 million copies.) - --Here they begin the hard sell on the C album, with either Murray or Mike calling it "the perfect album for people who like to do funny dances at home alone." Jian then suggests that just one of us buy it, and put it up on Napster. "Sure, we won't make any money, but it'll be great." - --Throughout the set thus far, the power has been sporadic at best, cutting out in the middle of songs sometimes. (For those who don't know, the Clearwater Festival aims to be entirely solar powered.) The power cuts out again, and when it comes back on, Jian says "This is the fucking Nields. Even when they're not playing the same day as us." They reveal how the Neilds hire attendees, at $10 a pop, to pull the plug out at opportune moments. These spies are actually disguised as small children (gestures made to the two little girls merrily playing on a rock right in front of the stage ;-) - --Heatseeker Boy - --Jian does a slow, acoustic verse of "...Baby One More Time." Murray: "And many of you came here to *escape* that song." Jian dedicates the next song to Brittney, Christina, and the like. - --Sad Girl (from Keeping the Faith) - --Lazy Boy - --Moon - --Pisco (Somehwere in the middle of this song, Vance Gilbert comes from back stage, and walks over to the side of the stage where Jian is--normally 'stage Dave'--and says something to him. Jian makes a little kicking motion in his direction, and Vance and friend go to the area in front of the stage to take a seat. Before he can, though, Jian, instead of singing "Antonio Banderes," says "An obnoxious Vance Gilbert." Vance lifts up his shirt and shakes his... chest-u-lar region towards the stage, and then sits) - --They introduce the next song as being sung by someone "even older than Vance Gilbert." Mike: "I'm so old, Pete Seeger's my godson.." - --Minnie (they encourage responses from everybody, not just "those taking the chemicals.") - --Michigan Militia OK, here's where things get fuzzy. The songs are right, but I don't remember any of the chatter: - --Tureen - --Saucp'n (and I take back what I said in the Day 1 review-- *nothing* is better than watching the signing of Saucp'n. Oh-- and for those who asked, the signer was defninitely Dave McClosky; the question mark I put after it was only for the correctness of my spelling) - --The Kids' Song (Mike points to the little girl still climbing on the rock, and she goes running to the comforting arms of a friendly adult to the side of the stage.) - --I Will Hold On - --Authors - --Get in the Car - --Psycho Killer (Jian does the "clap along, clap, along, clap along... stop" thing twice, but there are still the few slackers ;-) Anyway, he goes into the "I'm going to start signing the opening line any minute now" thing, when someone yells "one more time!" So he comes back out to the front of the stage, and gives us one more go at it. We still didn't get it quite right ;-) And that's it. Despite the crowd's very fervant cheers for more, the announcers made it very clear no encore was forthcoming. They did a signing line afterwards, but we opted for the juggling lessons instead (if anyone knows where I left my coordination, please feel free to return it.) Despite the cloudy skies, the rain held out for at least the whole tiome I was here. Overall, a good time, and a nice way to spend father's day. ~jen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Wouldn't it be great if the band just never ended?" --Great Big Sea "Do you know that you are very strong?"-- Grover "Measure your life in love."--Rent ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 02:29:56 GMT From: Lisa Carpenter Subject: Re: Clearwater, day 2 Jacey7 wrote: > --They come out, with Jian singing "Dead or Alive," and we are promised a show > full of songs by Bon Jovi. > > --Horseshoes (from their second album, Slippery When Wet, which sold 11 million > copies.) > > --Sad Girl (from Keeping the Faith) > > ~jen ok, what's with all the bon jovi references? i mean, i love it, but i always get suspicious when one of my fave bands mentions one of the others, (the others being the aforementioned bon jovi, U2 and collin james.) lisa ******************** and these were our words our words were our songs these songs are our prayers these prayers keep me strong and i still believe..... ******************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 01:54:26 GMT From: trace@fruhead.com (Trace) Subject: Re: OT: Why did the chicken cross the road?
