I didn't really think that Jess Klein sounded a lot like Ani DiFranco, then again I haven't heard much of Ani's music lately. (I didn't make the connection until now.) Of course, on Friday night I dind't hink much of Jess' opening. I liked her a lot more on Saturday. This review reminded me somewhat of any of Tom Shales' reviews in "The Washington Post."

Anyone who can get "Mountain Stage," a program featured on many NPR, as well as a couple really cool commercial radio stations should listen this week.

I know many people on the newsgroup are also a fan of at least one of these artists. I can't get the program, so I will be really happy when someone emails me, telling me that they taped it, and would like to send me a copy. Anyways.... Daniel (Ob. Fru content.

Then, in French 101, we're studying Quebec, and we were looking at differences between French and Quebequois. Much to my excitement (beneath "avoir de fun" which I thought was the funniest phrase I'd ever seen in my life) there was MAGASINER. My teacher asked if anyone knew what it meant, and I shouted, "SHOPPING!" She looked startled. I said one word: "Fruvous." She understood. I have explained to her my obsession with Canada and the lads. My page of notes was then filled with the phrase "Magasinage outre-frontiers." Oh, and the "lyrics I always mis-hear" thread (I think I've posted this before) is on Michigan Militia (Live Noise version): "Goddess on TV is makin us look stupid." Thank you and goodnight.

Ok, here's a little trip for ya... 1989 - I graduate from HS, go to RIT for Comp Sci, part of the AFROTC Program. After a year of not making it past the first programming class (no prior experience and my advisor was a clueless #%^#$%), I change majors to Social Work, still in AFROTC. 4 years of SW and I have conflicts with my AFROTC classes and SW curriculum, so I have to extend my stay. I'm not on a gov't scholarship and run into serious problems with some members of the group, so I drop out of AFROTC. While common sense says take off a year, friends and family say finish the last year. I get burnt out and don't get my degree. I go from being a receptionist at a radio station to a Finance assistant at a bank to an office assistant to a receptionist to an HR assistant to a computer applications instructor (and right now doing temporary assignment in the sales dept).

Mike had the lead, though... the mood/attitude of the song is totally > him. I don't think you can blame this on drugs. (Being weird, yes. Drugs, no.) I've had the same feeling about Moondance, and I also think it would be a perfect Mike tune. And I have to say, I *hate* most Van Morrison covers, because nobody ever does them justice. The exception, of course, is Brown-Eyed Girl, so if somebody's going to cover Moondance, it just has to be Fruvous. Van, otoh, seems to be able to slip into other people's shoes pretty well.
