I'm glad I wasn't the only one who freaked out upon reading this. I'm seriously having a crisis -- buy the Barney CD (and appear open-minded) or dub it off of someone or (god forbid!) never hear the two songs (and allow my apartment to remain gloriously Barney-less). Sorry Jane, but Barney is losing. Please, please, please let this be a joke that I, too, didn't get!

I predict, however, an increase in the Barney hipness quotient in about, oh, 15-20 years.

Doug noted: >i sorta hope the jane/barney thing is for real, actually. seems like the >royalties from a barney tune or two could go a long long way to bailing >out beleagured sheeba, non? Jane introduced one of the songs that's going to be on the Barney record at The Bottom Line by saying she has a new tattoo on her right butt cheek stating, in purple, "Barney saved my butt". Whether or not that was a joke remains (blissfully) to be seen, but Jane definitely has two songs on this Barney album, and I'm guessing Sheeba still exists because of the $$$ from that deal. You may want the purple dinosaur to die, die, die, but if Sheeba lives, lives, lives with its help, I guess that's just the price you gotta pay. Valerie mentioned: >Oh, how frighteningly true!

If it will make anyone feel better... one of my good friends, Janice Buckner (http://www.li.net/~philipda/janiceb.htm), had some deal to write a stage show for (you won't believe this one) the _Care Bears_ franchise. Only one song - "I Care about Ecology" (clearly not her best) - emerged. Because of her involvement, the Those Characters from Cleveland People granted her the right to perform with someone dressed up as the "Proudheart" bear... a two-piece costume of which the head had to be packed in a seperate sack... I had to help the "volunteer" dress in secret before Proudheart's cue... and then, of course, there was the occasional mobbing... :{ Mercifully, the show never got past the one song. I say "mercifully," because Janice didn't need to start writing shit for a living...

But isn't it cool irony to rediscover the things that have been ridiculed for years. To have originally like them, well that's just tacky, not prescient. :) On Sun, 29 Mar 1998, dmw wrote: > not that >i'm< going to buy a copy, mind you! i know where i draw lines > between completism and my skewed notions of good and poor taste.

I finally decided to get this album for two reasons: First, their cover of The Police's "I'll be missing you" is very well done, in my opinion. And, secondly, I once heard that "a writer is only as good as his vocabulary", and I believe this to be true of a music connoisseur as well.
