Lobbies are secondary representatives. The American Association of Retired Persons will not propose a policy change unless its members agree with the policy. If the AARP proposed lots of policies with which its members disagreed, presumably the members would quit. After all, there is nothing which binds people to a lobby. You can see the similarities between a lobby and a legislator. If you want to take a stand against lobbies, I suggest that you withdraw your membership from all of them. The American Automobile Association is a lobby, as is any union to which you belong, as is the AARP. However, I think it would be counterproductive to fight lobbies; they represent us. - --Steve Stephen R. Laniel | "That's because he treats her like dirt.

Hello, all! I'm brand spankin' new to a.m.m-f, since I just recently got a good enough connection to join. Let me first note that my messages are always either very short, or very long, and this one won't be a short one. A bit of background info. before I begin: I'm Scott Jesmore, but I prefer to be called "Novac". I attend all the shows I can in Syracuse, Oswego, Rochester, Buffalo, and Niagra Falls (though I missed the Media Play concert *grrrr*).You'll rarely see me in anything but a t-shirt with some sort of cartoon character or witty quip on it, and I usually wander out to Fruvous concerts alone. Nonetheless, onto interesting information. I have been listening to a band for a couple years now called "Ookla the Mok". The two lead singers attended the same college as me (a few years before I was there), and they have a small but loyal following. They're quite "off the beaten trail" of contemporary music. They make a lot of arcane references in their lyrics--especially comic book references and references to childhood. ("View-Master" is a complete and utter tribute to stuff from childhood, from Scooby Doo to Captain Kangaroo, from Star Wars action figures to Hungry Hungry Hippos). I'll admit that they're not for everyone, and I probably wouldn't have brought them up if it wasn't for the last concert of theirs that I attended in Buffalo. When I got there, I noticed a familiar face--it was a FruHead! Dave ("The Man" from the Buff. show). It seems his GF (another Fruhead, whose name I don't know...apologies) is also an OTM fan. Thus, I offer Ookla the Mok up for you to decide whether you enjoy them or not. Sound clips are available at their website, http://www.otmfan.com See You in Oswego & Syracuse, Novac - ---------------------------------------- '#,:#$#. ,,, $, #, ,, ,,, :# '#; .#' `, #, ,$ .# #; .#' ` $# '# ##. : #,,#' #' '# ##. ,:' ,#' '#:,,#' ;' "#,,$#,.

Enjoy. :) Always, - Maige ;P Moxy Fruvous of Toronto, Canada gained extensive air play and platinum status for their first album "Bargainville" and its college radio hits including "King Of Spain " Their latest CD, "You Will Go To The Moon," ranges from "gangsta banjo hip hop" to "Persian love songs,"according to the group. Their music transcends poignant pop and love songs to a mix of stirring vocals and acoustic folky instrumentation, showing both comic and serious sides to the group, This flourishing quartet includes Michael Ford on vocals/guitar/harmony; Murray Foster on vocals/bass/guitar; Juan Ghomeshi on vocals/drums/percussion/guitar/piano; and Dave Matheson on vocals/banjo/accordian/piano/guitar.
