[lots of very insightful > interpretation snipped] ...and there's me thinking it was just a catchy song. Odd how you wander around with a song in your head* only to realise much later that the lyric is quite profound. I remember wandering around mumbling to myself `Soon I'll be thirty, don't want to be thirty, rum-tum-tiddly-dee' etc without really engaging higher mental faculties. Then just after my 29th birthday is was `Soon I'll be thirty, don't want to be thirty... Eeeee! Its true!' *Of course not forgetting people without songs in their heads, sorry cee.

If it's any of them except for the FruCon T, you can order them from the web site, or if you get the quill, there's an order form there. As for the FruCon T shirts, I believe they were a one-time deal, and all the orders have been long taken. But you _could_ e-mail Chris - webmaster@fruvous.com - - and ask him, or just go to the web site ( http://www.fruvous.com ) and look it up there. Just in case.

Anyone have any ideas? It's never completely safe to assume that Fruvous is being serious at any given point, that they mean what they say about anything they've written. But I'll go ahead and report that, yes, they've been quoted as saying that it's about abuse: specifically, they've said, it was inspired by the abuse that some of their friends went through when younger. cee ------------------------------ Date: 24 Jun 1998 13:21:41 GMT From: kpfruhead@aol.com (KPFruhead) Subject: Re: order turnaround time for fruvous quill? >Remember the ol' "Takes 6-8 weeks for >delivery"? Well, I think MFHQ takes >about that long for turnaround. Well, they were pretty good about sending stuff that I ordered from the quill, but I've been waiting 6-8 *months* for my videos to arrive... I really should email them about that....

Yes, as the people in Ft. Smith found out the hard way with "Greatest Man In America" :) Wood seems to be the most serious and honestly meant out of all the albums.
