The sarcasm is there, sort of. I think Steven purposely made it vague -- is he serious? Is he playing a role? But c'mon, "I love you more... than I did the week before I discovered alcohol"? If that's sincere, it's rather cruel. There are several other lines that make the singer look bad, so I don't think it's a pro-alcohol song per se. I also don't think it has a damn thing to do with Fruvous. If there was ever copying between the two bands (medleys of popular songs, use of rap and comedy), I think that's no longer the case. ------------------------------ Date: 8 Aug 1998 23:40:21 GMT From: june529@aol.com (June529) Subject: Re: Moxy never sent CDs We ordered the 2 CD's back in January. They arrived in July (after we had already purchased them at live performances) with a heartfelt note of apology from Jude. My feelings however are that you can't have too many Fruvous CD's! Appaerntly things are really hopping and backed up in "Fruland". I hope you wil be patient and forgive them. They are well worth the wait. ...June G. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Aug 1998 02:23:15 GMT From: beetleschka@my-dejanews.com Subject: Pertaining only to people in Toronto I am leaving Columbus right now, I will get to the Toronto bus station at about 7:30 am Sunday.

My friend and I arrived at Mel Lastman an hour early and found it already pretty full, but managed to snag some seats near the front. After a while, it became pretty obvious where the fruhead crowd was, but I was too shy to go over and introduce myself. :) I'm sure someone else has a complete setlist, so I won't tax my memory here. It was great to get to hear the new stuff that everyone has been talking about. Personally, I thought that "I will hold on" was an AMAZING song! Just beautiful. "Sad Girl" was also great, and "Pisco Bandito" definately had me dancing in my seat! There was a lot of on-stage banter going on which was great. I found Jian's Shania Twain improv just hilarious - espcially since my radio station in Kingston has played that song OVER AND OVER AGAIN to the point of exhaustion. And yes, Jian can wear a shirt as tight as her's anyday ;) A point came up a while back on the newsgroup about whether or not some of their improv was actually so improvised. Last night was actually a good example. Mike and Dave were both wearing purple shirts and an improvised discussion and song stemmed from this. Same gag happened at the Kingston show - completly different jokes (and I can't remember if there was a song made up, but I think it was different if there was one), but centered around the same theme. I think it's great that even though it was a similar improv, it was actually different. It shows that they recognize and appreciate those who've seen them multiple times. It's the same with how they mix up their songs differently every night, so that each show is slightly different. I was disappointed that Grandpa Fruvous didn't make an appearance - I would have liked to have heard Mike's famous "fill in the blank city" improv for his hometown. Sam-I-am didn't show up either. I was, however, estatic that "Lou" showed up for an encore to do "Walk on the Wild Side/Dancing Queen." This is one of my favourite numbers that I taped off a Muchmusic special in 93, and I've never seen it done live! And since Dancing Queen is my theme song (don't ask!), this made me especially thrilled! :) And what is a show without "The Drinking Song". That was just totally beautiful, I have to say - everyone swaying in the dark, singing along. It almost had a campfire quality to it. Amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn't stick around afterwards, I would have love to have. As a side note, the friend I brought with me was new to fru (a rhyme!) - she had only heard King of Spain before. And she thought they were great. I knew they weren't really her type of music (she pretty much listens solely to slower, romantic music a la Celine Dion), and I was a little worried because while I was dancing in my seat, she was just sitting there. In fact, most people who were sitting were just sitting there. But then again, I have too much energy and can't sit still even when there is no music going on!!! :) But she said she had a great time - she was totally impressed with the show. She was impressed with their talent - how they play so many different instruments, and how they have so many different styles of music. She also really enjoyed their banter and improv. So she's not totally converted (yet), but she did have a good time. So that's my review. Sadly, I can't make it to the Danforth - family commitments, but I hope everyone has a great time, and good food. :) Out of curiosity, did anyone make a tape of the show? I'd love to hear the Shania song again! :) Sara _______ The secret of life: breathe in, breathe out, repeat. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #261 ********************************************
