I thought it would be worth mentioning Richard Thompson's. He is a heavily bootlegged artist, and it drives him nuts. As a way of dealing with this, after every tour he privately issues an 'official bootleg', clearly marked "Not for Broadcast or Review". They are only available through his info service. And, frankly, two of them are the best live recordings I have ever heard. (There is grumbling on his list that these discs would make him a star if properley issued, but thats, um, parenthetical) Some folks in RT's camp have said that though these are very limited editions, RT makes more money per disc from these than from any other income source. Perhaps it is worth looking into this model? Perhaps you already have? Thats my two cents on the subject. And, by the way Bill, I am glad you are here.

I'm also Party Girl, Monqui Boy, Flangebracket, and Bill MacCormick. I was Martin for a while, but then had to give that up because now I'm The Dread Pirate Roberts and, well, something had to give. Yes, it's all true. Because my life is so empty, I have created all of these people with lives so that I could pretend to have one myself and so I could have someone to talk to on the list, even if they didn't agree with--or even like--me. > I'm not interested in seeing more people take the piss out of someone > who is obviously upset about the treatment he's received on this list. > I'm inclined to agree with Eman and I think that maybe this Colleen > doesn't have a very full life and that's why she feels the need to > mention a stranger's penis on the list.

Anyway, that's enough for my > first post. It never happened. Since he has seemed to have convinced at least one person besides himself that it did, please allow me to set the record straight and then be done with this. After a much-appreciated-by-many hiatus, he resubscribed this year on July 8, and managed to let a whole 10-1/2 hours pass before his first posting of: "The most oft cited interpretation of IF IT TAKES ALL NIGHT is that is is about being too drunk to F__k." This was inserted into a thread about art -- specifically, in response to a comment on the imagery evoked by the name 'Roxy Music'. He followed up (still the same day) elaborating on/defending his interpretation with such snippets as: "Party time induced impotence, lament? Certainly not the cinema imagery of a 2HB or Three And Nine. There's also a slant that the female is a prostitute...make a wish...afford/Madame Claude...noted madame to luminaries story)." This brought to you by the man whose previous term on the list featured such relevant content as starting the poll: "Okay, so what song/LP/CD did you lose/cast off your virginity to --?" Etc. I suspect you begin to get the idea (and he hadn't yet posted about drinking urine), but I'll spell it out: not our most refined list member. In any case, it came as not the slightest surprise that, when somebody wondered what Roxy's most explicit lyric was, our man was first out of the gate with: "You'd nail her if you could..." So then a couple of days later Colleen started out a post with the following words: "Since we're all just killing time until we can read the latest, uh, emission from e"man," And there you have it -- yes, this was the first of the two "rude" "nasty" "vulgar" "attacks" on eman's "penis" (all in the archive to see, July 8-11, 2001). I hardly know how he survived the trauma. But, oh my, there was more to come (August 14, 2001). You see, in response to his comments on the relative (sub)intelligence of fans of bands other than Roxy Music, she let loose with the scathing: "Second, I am quite secure in the size of my penis, so I don't need to put down fans of other artists. Nor is the Avalon list the only mailing list where one can find good discussion. Frankly, I think there is more in depth discussion of music on other lists I am on (it always seems to fizzle out here), but that is a function of the culture of specific lists and not the music, per se." There you have it, "attack" number two. Oh wait... how odd, only one reference to a penis, and quite clearly her own, and that in a metaphorical context. Funny, I'm quite sure I'd seen somebody comment on somebody else's penis in here at some time or another. Ah, yes, here we are -- February 24, 2000: "I'll be in Portland in the weeks ahead and I'd be happy to pop into your offices and see how hairy or not you are in person. Yes, let's talk about your appearance and your body on the list here. Do you have a small penis? Any balls?" The author of this one-and-only-ever reference to another list member's penis here on this list? And in a clearly confrontational context at that? Why, gee, our very own eman. No tirades, bluster and repeated accusations in hopes of swaying opinion, just direct quotes and specific date references so that anyone who actually cares can dig into the archives and see for oneself. (Well, and plenty of sarcasm too, but not even that part is vague.) -wfs P.S.
