I didn't say BNL was a one hit wonder. Far from it in my book. All I said is that I only hear "If I Had a Million Dollars" on the radio -- and that's in St. Louis, not in Houston. I have heard "One Week" a few times as well, but that was sort of poppy tune, so I'm not surprised. No, BNL isn't played very much where I'm from except when I'm in the car with friends (from college) or, for that matter, in my car. Being from Canada or near the border does have a few advantages... By the way, I try not to listen to the radio...but that doesn't mean I'm not subjected to it at work or riding in a car with friends.

Where >is the line between fan and friend Loren, you just said exactly what I spent ages trying to compose last night - - except I kept erasing because it sounded snarky. You put it wonderfully. If Jian (or insert name here) is a friend, then likely he would call you, email you, go for coffee when he's in town, etc. If that's the case, then why do you need a hug after a show? And if he's simply someone from a band who is kind enough to talk to his audience after a show, well, then he really doesn't owe you anything. (Not trying to attack anyone or their perceptions of their relationships, but simply stating "my opinion" (tm)). As for "Jian blowing you off for a woman" - well, isn't the man allowed his personal time? My own example: I live in Toronto, and as such, when the band plays here, this is their hometown, and they have other places they want to be after shows. They have friends and family here, and often when they play here, they've been on the road for a while and want to see them. And sometimes, they probably just want to go back to their own homes and crash. I don't begrudge them that time. I don't feel slighted when I see one of them run out the backdoor after a show. Yes, Jian usually sticks around more often than any of the others - perhaps, that's why most people feel they know him best. But just because he "usually" sticks around, doesn't mean that he's obligated to. As I said, that's my opinion (tm) - feel free to have your own.

I don't think it was ever no. 1 status, but I was under the impression that it was sort of their "break through" in the states. And Call and Answer is far more overplayed than One Week ever was (or maybe it's just that I prefer One Week, and can't stand the video for C&A which is just a giant Bug car ad). So that's at least 3 hits (never mind $1,000,000 which was a hit in Canada long ago) Sara (and Pinch Me just screams "hit" to me - but I prefer it with the Napster savvy bits in it - although it's probably not very radio friendly that way in the long run) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2000 15:22:30 GMT From: gingee@my-deja.com Subject: Re: CBS Sunday Morning Is this just a coincidence?

I'm sick and tired of everyone going on and on about how "they deserve their own live" etc. Face it, the music biz is a kind of prostitution. They've sold themselves for fame, and so it is only logical that we the consuming masses want to collect. They owe it to us to schedule plenty of time after shows to have long discussions with each of us about hockey, or music, or whatever boring subject may be on our minds. They should be more careful to ensure that EVERY SINGLE FAN gets at least one hug per show. Pose for as many pictures as we want and each ensure that they've signed every item that we've brought. As for um, extracurricular, they should have their date books handy so that coffee, dinner, bowling, games and sex can be scheduled more easily. If they think it is hard on them to have 20,000 friends all over north america, well tough! They should have thought of that before. Jian, I'll expect you for dinner on Sept. 3.

I do wonder how much a friend you are to him if you set it out in your mind that he blew you off at one point awhile ago. Friendship does go both ways, you know. Maybe[1] he was busy talking to a record label person who happened to be female. Maybe[1] he was talking to an interviewer for the local paper or someone important to make an impression on. I'd recommend being considerate of your friends and not judging them on such small inconsequential things. I know I don't demand attention from any of my friends. I'm sure if I did, they'd get really annoyed at me if they were busy. But I do know that if I ever *NEED* them, they are there for me and will drop everything for me. But I don't use those influences I have over them to get them to say bye to me or get me some tacquitos. I use them to get someone to sit next to me and make sure I'm not gonna die when I'm overly drunk[2]. - Chad [1] Or maybe, just maybe, he's an attractive male that enjoys getting attention from people he's attracted to in order to prove to himself that he is still attractive and a person people would be interested in, you know?
