As I said to Dave after the show, "It was as if Bob Dylan could really
sing!" and it was utterly beautiful. He got the phrasing and the
inflections just right, but more than that he captured the poetic sense
of the words. Listening to Dave sing "Every Grain of Sand" was close to
a religious experience, which is a testament to both the song and the
singer.

You couldn't find a Dylan song to contrast more sharply with that one
than "Lenny Bruce," either. I thought that was pretty cool. My other
post-show quip was that Fruvous should try a Dylan tribute album. Now
*that* would be interesting.

I wouldn't say "incredible" but I've always thought "Day always breaks;

I never said these songs had good messages.  :)  I was very disturbed when I 
was a camp counsellor a few years back and my kids were running around 
singing "shut up and sleep with me" or my girl guides singing Oasis songs 
about getting high.  But you know, they really didn't know what they were 
singing about (you can argue that kids today know about things younger and 
younger, but no, in these cases, they didn't know what they were singing) - 
it's like watching kid's cartoons when you're an adult, you suddenly realize 
there's a whole other level to it that you didn't notice when you were a kid 
because you just didn't know.

My first "grown-up tape" (as opposed to my Raffi albums) was Madonna's "Like 
a Virgin" when I was 7.  An innocent little 7 year old running around 
singing "Like a virgin, touched for the very first time" - sounds disturbing 
yes?  But I had no clue - neither did my friends.  I'm sure if I went back 
and found some of my other tapes, there were many more examples of the same. 
  Madonna's dress sense was equally no better than Brittany's in terms of 
being a role model either.

Yes, there is definately some music that is not for kids (Bloodhound Gand 
and Eminem come to mind) but then again, my original argument was not 
whether or not this type of music was suitable for children, but that the 
fact that people should really not put down other people's music.

I feel I must add to this particular dustbin the classic Judas Priest
lyrics from the seminally crap `Turbo' album:

`I'm your turbo lover.
 Tell me there's no other.'

WH Auden eat your heart out.

And by the magic of lateral typing I can bring this thread round on-topic

ah, this thread has gone exactly where i hoped it would.

so what lyric(s) make(s) you cringe?

and before anyone quotes "Live and Let Die," let me clear up one
thing:  it's not "this everchanging world in which we live in."
it's "this everchanging world in which we're living."  OK?

ok so i figure this has to be about the worst lyric ever written,
courtesy the fine lads of Def Leppard:

"make love!/like a man!/i'm a man!/that's what i am!"

i believe they reached new heights of lyrical suckitude with that
one.  i don't think anything further needs to be said.

fruvous lines that make me cringe:

"Happy birthday Tricia, I'm in the Michigan Militia."

has always struck me as being really contrived.  like, they
needed
something that rhymed with "militia" and had the right number of
syllables to make and end-rhyme of it.  so they came up with
Tricia, and figured that the speaker could be saying "happy
birthday" to her over and over, since "happy birthday" had the
right number of syllables.

of course, it's probably based on a true story of some MM guy
writing to his fiancee tricia to wish her a happy birthday, and
then i'd feel silly.

i've already been lambasted for saying that "step into my shoes,
bastard" is wrong wrong SO wrong.  it's the "bastard" i have a
problem with (the rest of the line is great).  bastard is an
insult that really needs to be spit forth with as much venom as
possible.  not drawn out a few extra syllables.  and the overall
tone of the song is quiet desperation, not rage.

and then there's this line that so many people seem to love:

"If you can't see dreams, your eyes are blind"

because it's one thing if your ears or your knees are blind.  but
if your *eyes* are blind, you're really screwed.  also, i just
don't get this line's place in the song.  it sounds pretty and
all
that, but it doesn't really make sense or fit the story told in
the song. what does that have to do with a couple bidding a sad
farewell to their love?

anyway.

peace,
ellen

Sounds like my work environment. Good thing I don't mind brainless pop

features such great artists as Britney Spears and Enrique Iglesias.

OK. People, try to top this. Is there ANY lyric in the world more

WARNING!!! CHAD'S OPINION ALERT!!!

Well, to me, some songs just don't click or work out completely as
group songs. I'm sure they tried to make both those songs work
as a band (Grudge more visibly as it was played at what, 3 shows?
and in 2 different forms?). 

I agree totally that Follow the Road is very Downsizing-ish. When
Thornhill came out, that's why I figured they both weren't on there.
Follow the Road is very good stripped down though. Of course I've
never heard Downsizing stripped down, so who knows. But anyways,
hopefully Follow the Road has a future one way or another.

Grudge I have no idea what happened to it. The first performance
in Buffalo in November of 98 was really good. I mean it was rough,
but comparing it to first Half as Much or the first I Will Hold On,
it was relatively show ready (I remember the first I Will Hold On
performance at MIT 1998 as very weak, but promising - once they
learned how to play it *grin*). I think they played it again at
a Clinton show and then it appeared again in Toronto right before
they recorded Thornhill and it was a lot more tougher. Maybe
they were trying to make it fit into the concept of the album,
it failed and so it didn't make the album? Dunno, but that
would make sense to me. 

Anyways, there's my thoughts on it. Take them for what
they are worth.

This is reminding me a lot of Mariposa's On The Edge workshop, which
Früvous were hosting. Stacy Earle plays a new, edgy gritty country song.
The Burns Sisters do a version of "I Can't Stand The Rain" that made the
hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Stephen Fearing does...
(something I can't remember, but that must have been on the edge
somehow, or else that would make my point less valid). The Moxy Früvous
gets up and performs a rousing rendition of... Horseshoes.

I was trying not to laugh, I swear I was, but about halfway through the
song I leaned over to Donna and whispered: "Um, how is this On The
Edge?" and we both just cracked up. Or at least I did. Because, as you
all know, there isn't a song in this universe that has been played more
(or changed less) in the past four years. Not even King of Spain. And
it's not even "edgy" (whatever that means) to begin with.

Anyway, after Horseshoes, the four non-Edgers ignored our loud cries of
"Ooh! I have a question! Sir? How is that On The Edge?" and moved back
onto Stacey Earle.

Which confirmed my ongoing theory that they just have very bad workshop
judgement. There have been some very excellent workshops in the past
(most of which had something to do with the inclusion of Blow Wind Blow,
which they probably don't have time for anymore), but there have been
some whoppingly bad ones as well.

The Sahara is a major Vegas hotel which housed a lot of stars and had a lot
of top acts in the 50's and 60's. Big names stayed there at the 
height of Las Vegas as an entertainment capital and it was the
one of the king of ritzy and wealth.

The Rat Pack was Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr, and
Dean Martin. They pretty much were the kings of Vegas at the time
and wherever they went was the hip place. They lived decadent lives
and that was the in thing at that time, what everyone tried to do.

So, what I meant by "a metaphor for the entire mystique and driving 
force behind the Rat Pack era" I kinda meant the entire zeitgeist
that drove that time in Las Vegas. Where the people everyone looked up
to be, envied, and were jealous of was 4 young men who went everywhere
together and did whatever they wanted because they had the money to do
it. The whole strip was theirs to use and they used it.

Make more sense yet?

Yes, Timing IS Everything

And those of you who were at the Mel Lastman Square show a few years ago
will be relieved to learn that the time finally came for Jian's "Keith
Spicer and his kids 'The Spicer Girls'" joke. He delivered it flawlessly
and in an appropriate context at a workshop at Mariposa.

Subject: new apparel?

A couple months ago, before the C album was released, Tobey mentioned something
about having "C" shirts or ballcaps.  We're heading out to the Vermont show on
Sunday and I was wondering if anyone saw a show were they had some of the new
merchandise?
Im hoping they do!

Veronica nominated the lyrics to "Blue" sung by Eiffel 65, or 54, or
whatever, as 'most mind-numbing'. I'm here to submit my nomination for
'most irritating'.

(Everyone who knows me and sees my nick on this thread already knows
what group I'm going to be posting about I'm sure)

In Exhibit A for "never get someone whose first language isn't English
to write your songs" we have: 

As time goes by you will get to know me a little more better

(from "I'll Never Break Your Heart", performed by the Backstreet Boys)
I cringe each and every time I hear it. It's like someone running their
fingernails against a blackboard. I cannot sing the line and I'm not
sure if I admire or loathe the singer for being able to carry it off. 

Of course maybe I'm just an anal English major.
