Although, on the other hand, and positive side, there is a town on the Texas/Mexico Border (my info is at work, sorry for being vague) which has officially adopted Spanish as their language. The Official Language of The Town, I guess, but it's a start. Not that there aren't crazy folks who are out there tryin' to be fascist to the Spanish speakin' folk around, but at least there's one little bright(ish) spot.

So then she had to squeeze Cara just before the Jane. So technically I shouls be called Cara-Jane but I was never that big on hyphanated names. So I just have two middle names (which makes initilizing (sp?) a drag). I've never found out, however, if my mom chose the name for the Latin translation (cherished), Greek (head) or spanish (face) (I may have mixed the last two up). I really hope its latin because then my name would mean Cherished Warrior. And that would be hilarious, if you knew me! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 02:32:59 GMT From: ACW Subject: Re: Sappy?

I've seen Live Noise in the "Wal-Mart Recomends" rack once (and we ALL know about the language on Live Noise). I don't really see a problem with Wal-Mart stocking Fruvous CD's. It may broaden the fan base a bit and people won't be so naive to only listen to stuff that they hear on the Top 20. I'm not really a believer in "any publicity is good publicity" and I don't think that it would be good for anyone if some certain stores stocked Fruvous. I won't name names but I certain outlets don't really fit the type of store where you would find a CD like Thornhill, or Live Noise for that matter. >For those of you who are Ani fans, you know that Dilate has no fewer than *2* >songs with "Fuck" in the chorus.

(and "love, sweet love," of course). After the August 18 Ram's Head show in Annapolis, we were talking about www.waytogomurray.com and decided, "Hey, let's do a page about Dave!" ... thinking we were being true originals. Little did we know that the seeds had already been planted for www.waytogodave.com . Fortunately, we hadn't thought to use that domain name. We took a vote (2 - 0) and www.mypoorgeneration.com won. huzzah! Thanks to Lisa, the site is now up and ready for your viewing pleasure (or at least for your kind consideration). It still needs work [note to those with webpage creating experience: suggestions, yes please!], and more will be added very soon (this is where Val confesses she's been slacking while Lisa did all the work ... I sorry). If you would like to add material to the page (photos, sentiments, Dave-specific concert moments, feelings inspired by Dave's music, etc.), email either of us and up it goes ... we'd really love that!
