Of course, no one has yet brought up the most important defining moment of the '90s...just where were you when you received the news that John Denver died? I was on the eastbound 10 freeway driving to work. It was a really sucky day. And, as much as I grooved on his tunes, and respected him as a pilot, I have to admit that it was pretty stinkin' dumb of him to take that plane up that day.

Thanks for that URL! However, I don't find it as "horrific" as you apparently did. They look pretty dang cool. Besides, in a couple of years spiked hair and one long earring will be hip again.

We caught Elton John singing and some other parts. I heard once that there's a place that offers the "Diana Tour" where you dine at the Ritz and ride in a black car along her crash route until you end up at the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Does anyone know if this is true, and if so does anyone else find that extremely morbid or wrong? I remember very clearly where I was when told of Princess Di's death: I'd had a really bad day with my (now)ex-fiance & was putting my shoes on so we could go out for some food & he told me. I surprised myelf by immediately bursting into tears! I'm not a Royalist at all, but think I must have been feeling homesick, & the Royalty bring about a sense of nostalgia for me (spent many summers as a kid taking exchange students to Buckingham Palace- and going inside to sign the visitors book & watch the changing of the guards from the inside!! Now, that was cool! Not something that many people get to do!). I was stunned at the response back in theUK, but then again I guess fairy tales charaters are important for us. (Actually most people really!). I remember going into the Shelter in NYC where I worked, on the day of the funeral at 5 AM as certian clients had historical connections to the UK & had asked me to be there with them: we sat in the tv room with about 30 other clients & watched & cried- it was an amazingly healing time, especially in helping them talk about death & loss (a subject very close to their hearts!) As for the Diana tour, yes it's true. Unfortunately there are plenty of morbid people around who would do something like that, especially if it's a money earner, but I don't know if it's still going. (I just asked my dad- he says it only started recently but he doesn't have any details). However, it's also interesting thinking about why people would pay to be on a tour like that: is it just out of morbid curiosity (which I think we all have to some extent- death is a fascinating topic), or is it some sort of spiritual quest?!! Being Buddhist, I'm very opposed to war & violence of any kind: I just wish people could find a way to love themselves & be able to stand up to people who are bullies. I know it's not easy, especially when you are afraid of the consequences on the rest of your family. I've done a lot of research with Tibetan refugees (and Tibetans in Tibet)- war & oppression are an unfortuante part of world history- and will always be, I think- it's just part of how humans operate. Sometimes I wonder whether I have a romaticised view of how I want the world to be- but I really do believe that love is the key. The Gulf War Song has always resonated with me & sends shivers down my spine when sung live.

We were trying to set aside space and time for a jam at Frucon, but we just don't have the room. We are encouraging folks to bring instruments for the sing-alongs, and when some are tired of singing, we play instruments.... i'm always up for giving inpromptu doumbek lessons (pronounced doom-bek... *grin*) 2) the Risque OT Thread- hmm, risque thread, wouldn't that be silk, or satin?? heehee. anyway... I would definitely have to say UB40, Enigma, and Tory Cassis. There are others... but those definitely come to mind (which is why i can't listen to them at nite anymore, *smirk*) 3) Talents- my nose is too wide to balance a metal spoon on it. In fact, the only reason a plastic spoon settles on my nose is the composition and surface of the plastic itself. in fact, i have no talents... save twirling umbrellas (twirled flag and rifle in HS). I'm rather boring, when you come right down to it. 4) I'm not sure how this one started... but i'll try to continue- a. Challenger Disaster: I was in HS, Freshman i believe. On my way to my friend's house to hang out and i stopped at the corner store to buy penny candy (it was still a penny... *gasp*). I saw the headlines on the evening paper and was completely in shock. I went over to her house and cried... I'd decided in 8th grade that I wanted to join the Air Force and become and astronaut, so I'd been studying Space Shuttles. After the official reports were published, i did a research paper on the disaster and what had caused it. b. the Gulf War: Sophomore in College. I was in Air Force ROTC, my friend TJ was on reserve from Active Duty Air Force and was in ROTC with me... he was put back on active duty and shipped out to Saudi Arabia. We followed the progression closely, and I wrote a poem about it that received small honors. c. Lennon & Reagan being shot: I remember them, I remember being in headlines, but I don't remember much about what was going on personally to relate. d. the OJ Trial: I purposely avoided as much of it as possible, I didn't care, I thought the whole thing was a travesty and the only reason such a big freakin' deal was made of it was because he was a celebrity. The man deserves the same court proceedings (For better OR worse) as any other citizen and to turn it into a media circus turned my stomach (same opinion of the Clinton crap). I do remember my employer at the time wanted to see the verdict, so she pulled the TV into the reception area from the training room and we watched it... e. Princess Di: I remember being up late that night, and someone online told me... I didn't believe them, I couldn't believe them, it seemed so unreal. So I tuned in to CNN and there it was... f. The Berlin Wall: here's another one... it was a poignant part of my school year at the time, but so much has happened since that I can only accurately state that it happened in my lifetime. My great-uncle, however... cried for 3 hours when it came down, and was so moved that it happened in his lifetime... which touched me forever. g. Fruvous: my story is on FDC, but to reiterate... around spring of 1995/fall of 1996- one of the RIT music ensembles, Eight Beat Measure, did a cover of KoS for concerts. In the summer of '97 Fruvous played a free concert in downtown Rochester. I had a crush on one of hte members of EBM, so I suggested we go. I showed, he didn't... Fruvous played, I was hooked with the first song, end of story :) OK, back to work. - --SnarkiFru drive safe, be loved, pre reg for frucon! http://frucon3.tripod.com/ If you knew me You'd know I don't know much at all See right through me I'm as focused as a broken crystal ball - --"if it's mine" Tory Cassis ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. ------------------------------ Date: 28 Jan 2000 16:20:31 GMT From: srm9988n@aol.comicrelief (Lori at fruhead dot com) Subject: Re: Drums and drummers Luella meekly asked: >What about those of us who don't drum, and still want in on a little of this >action?

It USED to be my favorite song, but now I can't stand listening to it. I think it might have something to do with the fact that my friends did that at the Keswick and that it humiliated me.
