In the "Walk on the Wild Side/Dancing Queen" medley, what's the deal with the bridge? The part that starts, "So long ...," and then there are four lines, complete with a counter melody. Did Fr,vous write this, or is it from some song I don't recognize, and if so, what's the song? And along the same lines, often in the "Love Potion No. 9" medley, the bits of other songs ends up with the line, "I've got me a car and it's as big as a whale and I'm about to set sail." (Or at least that's what it sounds like to me.) Is this original, or another cover, and if so, what?

HEY!" "not the beatles. fuck you.")...when the WOO WOO came and the crowd hit it in stride, mike was equally surprised and tickled to hear it and reacted thusly. i thought that was pretty cool. how often do you get to please the performer within the context of their own song? new york sucks. on the last day we parked our car on two busy streets (ave of the americas by the village and spring st down in soho) and at one of those two places, some nefarious streetwise loser jammed a screwdriver in our trunk lock and pried it open and stole our suitcase. i hope they don't clone duplicates of me from my dna left in my dirty socks they thieved. or maybe i'm thinking too far ahead. at least we didn't have to unpack (thank you, valerie, my love, for saying this first ). once upon a long-ass time ago, i fell in love on the internet on the failure (a band) mailing list...and as i said my farewells to my friends in texas to move to baltimore, i made mention of how i feel that my love is my "paradigm shifter" - causing me in a few bold strokes to see the world differently, to change my entire perspective. it's not a very common term. and one night our fruvescent crew renamed themselves "paradigm shift" and we both got a good charge out of that. i saw chris o'malley's butt. all right, to be fair, only the top part of one buttock, and only for the purpose of exposing a budgie dog tattoo to us, but hey, if you ever see someone's butt in a public setting, it's worth noting. on dan bern's last set, a kid came out and played his "tiger woods" song ("i got big old balls...on a good day they swell to the size of small dogs"). the kid was good. i don't know who he is, if dan actually knows him and played like he didn't, or if the kid just walked up, took dan's guitar off him and started jamming, but either way, i thought that was really cool. the way dan did his sets i thought was great. as a one man show, he is his own master, and he'll have moxy come up and play songs with him, he'll play unplugged for a song because of a bad electrical connection squealing through the p.a., he'll put a kid on stage, he'll restart his song because he used the wrong pronoun, and have everyone laughing WITH him. it was all great. so there are some of my random firings. good fun. good night. d .-~'~-.,,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-., curator, slipknot international music archive http://www.flash.net/~helmet '~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~'~-.,.-~' ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 07:50:11 GMT From: BlahBear@aol.com Subject: Re: A couple of lyric questions << And along the same lines, often in the "Love Potion No. 9" medley, the bits of other songs ends up with the line, "I've got me a car and it's as big as a whale and I'm about to set sail."

Anyways, I'm right by the stage dancing, watching Mike, because, well, he's just fun to watch, when he looks down at me and I think "gee, he looks like Murray... *chuckle*.. and I'm standing stage Murray!" and that's when I lost it. I started laughing, and when he started laughing too, I nearly hit the floor. note: Another nifty band, From Good Homes, opened. pretty much everyone was ignoring them while I was "ah! he's getting the mandolin again!"

I just feel like I have to make a public apology now, since I'd been feeling so guilty... See, what happened was this. I was planning to take the bus to LA with a ridiculously cheap 2-for-1 ticket. Tom can't take the time off work to go, so I put the word out to the Denver FruCrew asking for someone to join me, and Tyler accepted the offer. We were in the midst of making plans, and I had difficulty reaching Greyhound to buy the ticket - the local station's line was continually busy, and the 800# people were giving me the runaround as to the availability of the 2-for-1 offer. So I decided to take a nap and just deal with it later. Well, while I was napping, my wonderful generous husband Tom decided to surprise me with a plane ticket. Great for me, but that left Tyler in the lurch. Anyone who's been on IRC the last couple of days is probably sick of my guilt-ridden whining and wondering how I could make it up to him....so it's very good news that they'll be there after all. And so I'm all caught up on the arts & crafts projects that I needed to take care of, and just about done packing...countdown, two more days!

It had been suggested that, being an "all ages" show, he might tailor his material as such because from what I'd heard on "Boy Dog Van" and "50 Eggs" I didn't think he had enough "all-ages-appropriate" material for a whole set, LOL. But she said she wanted to stay, and I did want to see him (liked the CDs I had) so we sat down and sure enough, first song is "Tiger Woods." (Big amazed giggle-giggle grin on her face). And though I don't recall exactly what he said afterwards but it was something to the effect of "welcome to the kids show, folks." I just kind of shook my head. And to be honest the only moment where she started in on "what's he talking about" where I really squirmed was when he did a reference to "the president and his little girlfriend" and imitated the girl talking with, shall we say, her mouth full. Luckily, Dana forgot about it and didn't ask me later to explain (I'm still not sure what I'd say). That said, I enjoyed his set and so did she. She liked the "cheese cheese cheese" song and sang "Moxy Moxy Fruuuuuuvous, on the road all we eat is Moxy Fruvous" for the next three days. But when we were talking about the show last night at dinner with my husband, and he asked about Dan Bern, she said, "Dad, he did this song about a guy with balls as big as grapefruits!!!!" so we know what she remembered now. I think next time I'll probably go see him without her :) However, getting to what Vika said about being responsible for what he sings: <> One moment did stand out for me, which was i the middle of "Oh Sister" (my personal favorite, could have been written about my husband and his sister) when he sings "I hope you find a nice guy who treats women better than I do, I don't even care if he's a Jew or not" which clearly -- in my mind -- is a Jewish guy talking, saying "okay, you can even marry a goy" and he stopped i the middle of the song and said something like "Believe it or not, one guy actually accused me of being anti-Semitic with that line" so obviously it rattled him a little. Or then again, maybe not. Sorry this is so long. Really enjoyed having the NG group to my left at Stage Mur (my "clothes twin" Trace, Fruwench, Chrissy, Koogle, Lori-Murrmaid, Kevin Way, and anyone I missed, as well as the extremely cool Dan Bern people we sat with (a big Harf going out to Mitch and Matt), who even nabbed Jian's set list for Dana!!!!! She had been hoping to get the guys to sign it but we were kind of hustled out. Maybe I'll bring it to the Feb. 5 show at 930.

Just to offer a reminder to those people who weren't in Northampton in October or who weren't on the NG for the few weeks after that, I was lucky enough to be permitted to bring Hi-8 video equipment to the Iron Horse and film both the Friday and Saturday shows. (Yay run-on sentence!) Here's an update on what's happening with the four hours of footage that I shot that weekend: The original plan was to edit the footage into some sort of piece that would be an answer to or an addendum to the Mr. Jones TVO piece that was aired in Canada in March. I was planning on doing the bulk of the editing over the break, and having the piece ready in hopes that it would be broadcast before the end of February so that I could in turn submit it for consideration in the Canadian Association of Journalist's student award competition. Well... what a couple of months can do to those plans. In the interim I have taken on an additional job, which saw most of my available time over the break taken up planning a daycare service to be provided in mid-March. I also found out that even if I had wanted to edit the Hi-8 tapes down, I couldn't because the edit suites at school were closed during exams and only opened with the return to classes on Jan. 4. The idealist me thought that I could somehow find the time between now and the end of February to edit the footage down, but as I have now started working regular hours at my second job and am also diving into an over-loaded school schedule, I see that hell may potentially freeze over before I edit the four hours of footage. I'd like to again thank the band, Cal, JAM, the folks at the Iron Horse, Ruthann, Leah and anyone else who had to put up with the camera in their face that weekend. No one is more disappointed than myself that all the effort will not result in much more than four hours of raw footage. Tom, ChrisO, and Moxy: I will make arrangements to get the portions (or all) of the footage that you requested to you, eventually. Please be patient, realistically this may not happen until late March when my second job's term ends. To everyone else, I will attempt to make some if not all of the raw footage available for viewing at FruconII in Toronto in February. I don't have much else to say.
