Having read (and seen) both Hamlet and Macbeth, they're much more intricate and interesting than ol' R&J. I haven't read Lear yet (though I did see a film version, in Russian with subtitles), but I'm pretty sure it's better also. But let me ask you this: If 'Nardo Dicaprio had been in, say, Macbeth, would it have more street cred than R&J? Just a thought.

The answer is a resounding "NO!" If they did, it would have made my first (underage) term of university much more bearable. And most bars don't stamp or anything like that. Rational is that once you're in, it's too difficult to keep track of you, and, as one of our campus newspapers pointed out, regular coke looks a lot like alcohol-laden coke... Anyway, the story. Well, after playing "Bargainville" as loudly as I could in residence to make all those who were going feel suitably guilty (they didn't) my floormates went off to the concert venue, only to hear that "one of the members was sick, and went to the hospital to be checked out". Maddeningly, *no one* would give me details. Grrr... Until talking to my friend, who told me that she was walking away from the bar where the concert was to another of our hangouts when she ran into Mike, who was searching for the other guys. Eventually, she found Dave and Mike and took them to the bar she was headed to. They stayed there drinking for the rest of the evening, until another friend who was the doorman at the bar finally kicked them out, an event we haven't let him forget since. ("Randy, you remeber the time you kicked Moxy Fruvous out of here?") Anyway, Dave, Murray, and two others who's names escape me now, went back to my friend's place, I *believe* 'cause she insisted that they had to sign her "Wood" poster, which was at the time hanging on her bedroom wall. So they did, and created a little havoc while they were there. They named her fish, stole all the shampoo from the bathroom an put it, along with her housemate's hair dryer into the deep freezer. I think there were also some comments left on the poster they had on the door, which was advertising Fruvous at AJ's that night. And the best part was (for her) the fact that the guys remembered her from that night (Murray was seeking us out after the Kingston show over the summer) and even Jian had heard about the night ("Oh, so it was *your* apartment!") And all of this I heard about second hand because I couldn't go to the concert because I was only 18, underage, and there were absolutely no exceptions to the rule. Now, you want to talk about bitterness about 19+ shows?! :) The end... :) Veronica (I wonder if this is how Dr. Seuss felt...) - -- *************************************************************************** "Never look at the trombones, | Veronica Gruneberg it only encourages them." | Dept. of Biology - Richard Strauss | Queen's University | Kingston, Ontario ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 11:02:06 -0500 From: "KatieWow" Subject: Re: Jewel Kilcher and why I think she writes trash (a dissertation on the state of the Union) speaking as an english major who thinks that, strictly poetically speaking, ms. millay had a far more stable and decisive grip on the workings of the human mind (i mean, really--read four or five of shakespeare's sonnets and you'll find yourself wondering just how many personalities the guy had), but has a great deal of respect for shakespeare's use of verse in a dramatic setting--is anyone else slightly amused by these "shakespeare in love" commercials that refer to "romeo and juliet" as his greatest work? honestly, have they read "hamlet?"

Many of the tunes debuted during that time made it onto the YWGTTM album, but that one vanished. I personally never liked it, but sometimes it takes a while for a new tune to grow on me ("I Will Hold On" comes to mind), and others have said they missed it, so don't take my opinion as a valid judgment of its worth. I haven't yet heard the songs debuted in the last couple of months ("Grudge," "My Poor Generation," "Downsizing," "Can't Be Too Careful"), but they've gotten good marks from everyone else, so I'm looking forward to encountering them on albums, if not before. cee (saying "Okay I love you bye bye" to Vika in the background) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 16:50:07 GMT From: gemini@p3.net (Trace) Subject: Re: dan-bern-digest V99 #17 On Tue, 19 Jan 1999 05:59:01 GMT, Srm9988n@aol.com wrote: >>but he was much more even than Fruvous over all. >>Fruvous had higher high points, but also lower low points in >>my opinion.

(And I'm 5'11... my thighs are pretty far from the ground!) :) Yeah, they did have to call in the military in Toronto (which makes me laugh) but my dad was thrilled because it meant he had the day off.
