I was ROTFL'ing at home during the 'interview' part (Jian, tsk tsk, dissing Rick Green *lol* though he did apologize right after) and for the record, Mike's comment was "Let me guess, you're not the one who answers the fan mail. 'Look geek, why are you writing to us? Get a job.'" (Also, as the show went to commercial before the guys performed, they showed a small clip from "Fly" - don't know if those at the show could hear/see that while you were in the studio) Btw, the Früheads did get into quite a few of the crowd shots :) Looks like they took up nearly a whole row - and it goes without saying they made themselves heard when the guys were introduced and a bit during the interview ;> Still laughing at the thought of Dave trying to sign to Mur & Ji during a fight, Drea "Jian and I don't talk."

I'm all for everybody *else* to wear name tags. I would feel goofy, myself. :-) Just kidding. Actually, I like the idea. Melanie Hello, Andy.

I hope people arent' sick to death of this thread yet, because I just can't resist adding my own $.02. 1. You're an expert on naked puppets. 2. You use the word "troglodyte" in actual, everyday conversation. 3. You get a huge kick out of knowing someone named Pete who used to be in Boy Scouts. 4. You make up your own (pretty pathetic) lyrics to your favorite Fruvous songs ("Who broke the pitcher?" "It's Mordechi Richeler!") 5. You play all of their songs backwards, trying to find hidden meanings (opps, sorry, that's a sign that you listen to the *Beatles* way to much. My mistake ;-). 6. During a visit to Toronto, you have your picture taken at the corner of Queen + Bay (I did that this summer-didn't see any Organ Grinder, though...:-). 7. You hum "KITA" whenever you're around someone you're pissed off at. 8. Even the most mundane of statements cause you to break forth into song ("It's too cold!", "Get in the car!"). That's it!

I don't HAVE to get angry when I feel >I'm being demeaned. I can just say "I find what you are saying >to be very demeaning." Which brings us back full circle to Ladywench's piece. In the paragraph in question, I, with my admittedly American perspective despite my two years in Ottawa, did not see anything demeaning. What I *did* see was a single overgeneralization: a lack of explicit acknowledgement of the Canadian Fruheads who stayed loyal to Fruvous when the wide popularity they enjoyed after Bargainville faded. The lonely disciples in the wilderness, perhaps, keeping faith in the hour of darkness, to continue with the biblical theme. But I can't presume to "correct" Ladywench's work. It is hers, from her perspective, which is not mine, or A.J.'s, or Hugo's, but which is just as legitimate as any of ours. And she is entitled to express that perspective, which she did very creatively and amusingly, in the expectation of constructive criticism, not anger or attack or demands for change. Of course she left things out -- she summarized a band's career in 14 paragraphs. Were she writing an annotated history, the standards would be different. But this was a parody -- and within that form, considerable artistic discretion is allowed in the choice of events and metaphors, so long as nothing critical is misrepresented. If for creative reasons Ladywench had wanted the falafel or the Egg McMuffins not to flow freely instead of the pizza, that choice would be just as legitimate. If she had chosen to refer more to studio albums and less to Live Noise, that matter is at her discretion. And it is her right -- and her need, given that brevity added greatly to the comic impact of her piece -- to pick and choose facts and highlights to give a general but accurate impression of this band and its effect on us. I think she succeeded. And I think she's a far funnier writer than I could ever hope to be. - -- Lori ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Oct 1998 20:21:12 GMT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Re: illegal taping (was: Review: Bloomington & NKU (very long)) Vika said: >Josh - I have this crazy feeling that both Josh W. and Chad were > kidding, here.
