That is all I can say about the following post. The [wrote crap] line did it for me, after reading the very elementary flame. Chad, your post was a solid, original response; in fact, it was educational to other on the newsgroup too! Chad's post gets my nomination for 'Post of the Week'! BTW - is it just me, or does it seem that most of the show dates in New York this November/December occur on a week night and at least 200 miles away from me? Yet another plug, northern New York needs Moxy Früvous! later, tom. (NOT the Tom that flamed the ng, so please spare my name association, please?)

I am happy to defer to Bud or Josh on exactly which U2 song Grunge is like. I confess that I've never been much of a U2 and the example I gave was the only title I could think of that was roughly the right speed and had that kind of sound. The point was that while it's a good parody but it's not a parody of something I want to hear too often. - -- Arbie "Brassman" on irc Reply address altered to discourage spammers, sorry for the inconvenience. arbie_fru@bc.sympatico.ca - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 03:40:01 GMT From: gemini@p3.net (Trace) Subject: Re: WXPN show 7-12-98 On Mon, 14 Sep 1998 21:36:20 -0400, "Ken VanTassell" wrote: >I'm trying to find a really good copy of this show that was broadcast by >WXPN.

As to this individual, yes very occasionally someone tries to start a flame war. It is best to just ignore it and move on. He probably had his chuckle throwing that out and will never check back. Maybe he flames all alt.music newsgroups. Who knows. Who cares.
