John Mellencamp's career arc has come full circle, if that's not too confusing of a metaphor. To wit: he started out as (and I quote the man himself on this one) "a two-bit ripoff artist" whose songs alternated between being heavily derivative of Springsteen (say, "Pink Houses" and the beyond godawful "Jack and Diane") and the Rolling Stones ("Crumbling Down"). Around the time of Farm Aid, something happened to him and he became interested in being a better artist and a better person. He worked tirelessly for causes; came out with two albums (SCARECROW and THE LONESOME JUBILEE; BIG DADDY is almost as good) that, rather than aping his influences, synthesized them into a powerful amalgam; and played kick-ass three-hour live shows. If you want to follow the Springsteen comparison, by 1988, the Boss had threatened to become a cartoon parody of himself (those TUNNEL OF LOVE tour boots show just how close this came to passing), while Mellencamp was making better albums and playing better live shows than my beloved Bruuuuuuce. And that takes a lot for me to admit that, if you knew how much I like Springsteen. Anyway, after 1989's BIG DADDY, Mellencamp left his wife for stupormodel Elaine Irwin, and began making records that, well, slid back into lightweightness and derivativeness. The latest one, the one with "Key West Intermezzo," is unbearably blah. And instead of playing shows that almost anyone can afford, as he did in his Moral Populist stage, he's playing small venues, charging $100 a head, and saying things about such prices like (I'm paraphrasing) "if people can't afford it, too bad." Whatever. You make me feel sorry that I ever had that brief spell of respecting you, bud. In Mike Runion's CD player(s): >n.p. Julian Cope: Rite 2, & Radiohead: OK Computer Both playing at once?

Since I don't possess the terminal country-avoidance bug, it never occurred to me for even a second to dislike this clever, dee-lightfully dark song. The Roy Clark big-note guitar approach is a hoot! 'Sides, anyone who rejects anything country-sounding out of hand is cutting themselves off from not only a load of crap (and tell me 90% of college radio isn't crap too, huh, huh?), but from Merle Haggard, the Mavericks, Bob Wills, the Louvin Brothers, Wayne Hancock, BR5-49, Emmylou Harris, large portions of the Kinks' MUSWELL HILLBILLIES, and the Greatest American Songwriter Ever, Hank Williams. And that's just for starters. And to do that is a cryin' shame. I enjoy "Furry Green Atom Bowl" a lot too, so go ahead, lose all respect for me if you haven't already! I agree with Ken, the "roots in the earth and kidneys in the body" line has me singing aloud every time. And of course Bayard and I are both on record as Friends of DecAy. For my part, I can't stand "Superman" ("crunchy little Superman" is the worst phrase I've ever heard out of Robyn) and "Autumn Sea" (the spoken word part sinks it for me), and I'm counted among the folks who think "Wafflehead" should have been relegated to b-side status befitting its true oddity/epherma nature. It should have ceded its RESPECT-closer slot to "Bright Fresh Flower," one of Robyn's most haunting songs. I've heard Robyn's explanation for closing with "Wafflehead," I just don't agree with it! more thread clean-up later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jul 1997 22:53:48 -0500 From: Miles Subject: more boneyard chains Sydney and the Venerable Hedblade spake thusly: ><< So Fegs?

"Song 2" is good fun -- a pure dada throwaway, but what's life without a few romps? Damon's "woo hoo" is infectious. The real problem with BLUR (the album) isn't that the band's trying to do different things than they have before; the problem is that in their haste to escape their self-made Brit-pop straightjacket, they forgot to write any songs! "Death of a Party" is almost worth the price of admission, but beyond that? One of the year's disappointments, though I reserve the right to change my mind if BLUR finally kicks in the way I'd like it to. The half-year's winners: it's Yo La Tengo's I CAN HEAR THE HEART BEATING AS ONE at #1, and James' WHIPLASH a close second. Just got the new Radiohead so it's too early for a ranking, but it sounds like a contender so far -- but lots of unraveling to be done first. Here's Mike Runion again: >The select few who are firmly entrenched, meaning "give me everything!" (if >anyone cares to know): Robyn, Julian, REM, Bauhaus/Peter Murphy/L&R, Michelle >Shocked, Sinead, NIN, Chris Connelly, J&M Chain.

Mike and I are not only the same age, but apparently have the same record collection, aside from Ms. Shocked, who I don't *dislike.* I have lost some interest in Sinead too, though I think everyone should own a copy of Jah Wobble's RISING ABOVE BEDLAM, which features a boffo Sinead vocal on "Visions of You." And my list would include the Kinks, Bruuuuuce, and Wire, among others. I have come to like POP a lot -- I've spent the past two months with it on headphones as I've excercised (which is nearly every day of that span), and maybe it's just an endorphin-induced daze, but I've come to think of POP as the best thing they've done in years. Bono makes a few lyrical missteps here and there, but that was true of BOY, WAR, and the JOSHUA TREE too, but I didn't let that get in the way of my enjoyment of their work then, and I haven't now. Overall, POP has more depth lyric- and music-wise than almost anything they've done, and I don't say that lightly. "Do You Feel Love," "Miami," and "Mofo" have rocked my world on a daily basis for too long for this to be a fluke or a phase. Ignore the "drum 'n' bass" and PopMart hype if you can, and just enjoy a very fine exploration of the nexus of spirituality and commerce, 'k? >Sorry to babble, > >Mike Runnnnnion (a pathetic hanger-on from the heyday of 80's "120 Minutes"-brand >alternative) Here's the *real* acid test: do you get the urge ever so often to hear Dave Kendall, even though he was a piss-poor interviewer (Allan Havey on Comedy Central's late, lamented-by-me talk show NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, did a better Robyn interview even though all he knew about Robyn was what he had read in the press kit earlier that day!), say in his unmistakable Brit-blare... ..."NITZAH EBB!" If so, you too *might* be a '80's hanger-on... Quoth James Isaacs: >and I needed to find something to fill the void between releases.

I enjoyed their triumphs of '75 (all we ever see is Carlton Fisk's game 6 homer! Who won the series, huh, huh?) and '76 (my hero Bench doing Bench-fu all over the hated Yankees) more, but maybe that's just boyhood nostalgia getting in the way. later, Miles ------------------------------ From: "Eddie Tews" Subject: my hemoglobin count Date: Tue, 15 Jul 1997 20:55:30 PDT since .chris requested it, this item from the Anderson Valley Advertiser, june 11, 1997: A READER WRITES: "Don't know whether this interests you or not, but her it is. There's a woman on the streets of Fort Bragg in front of the old library (now the Town Hall or whatever) who's picketing with a big sign that says "BOYCOTT NEVILLE BROS CONCERT: ASKE ME WHY." She has this handout that she gives to everyone. Here's the text: 'This is why. I have a bone to pick with the Neville Brothers and with Aaron Neville in particular. Alone on 12-30-1994, I attended my first Aaron Neville concert. Feeling safe I got close to the stage at the end of the show. Aaron, seeing me, got closer on one knee and, deliberately moving his hand, he delivered a very strong psychic shock to my forehead. More commonly know by Southern ministers, its dimension is of the para-normal, referred to as 'being hit by the light.' Like being hit by lightening....life is not the same afterwards. My life has been thrown into great chaos and darkness. My ill health is worsening. I'm aware that I will die in a very short while. After this occrued to me I was informed by a very reliable source that Aaron 'DID THAT' in his act. But I warn you. It is not JUST an act! Beware. It has impacted everyting I held dear to me. I have made several attempts to have the Nevill Bros. respond to me about this. They refuse to comment to any of my several inquiries. Boycott Nevill Bros. Concert June 23, 1997 Benbow State Park. Insist Aaron Neville now publicly acknowledge this serious act committed upon Alice Moon when attending his concert in San Francisco December 30th 1994. Ask WHY such a thing was done...and WHY it is being held secret. LET THIS BE KNOWN." ...okay, i guess she's not actually suing him, but she bloody well OUGHT to! but now you gotta let me plug the paper. it's the best periodical in the country, bar none. $20/6 months (26 issues), $38/year (52 issues) Anderson Valley Advertiser, Box 459, Boonville, CA 95415 now that robyn and kimberley are all buddy buddy again, can we safely assume that the soft boys will be playing at bumbershoot. well, one can always dream, right... bayard, are you saying that your name is actually pronounced baird?? i don't remember who it was that did that mathematical setlist analysis a few months ago, but i thought it was pretty interesting. what is needed though, is to do it for the whole tour, and then compare that to other tours past. i'd do it if somebody would get all the setlists to me. i guess that's impossible, but if not, it would be pretty fun. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jul 1997 00:47:46 -0500 (CDT) From: John Littlejohn Subject: Re: more boneyard chains On Tue, 15 Jul 1997, Miles wrote: > Hm.

Date: Tue, 15 Jul 97 23:15:52 +0400 From: Karen Reichstein How about a thread concerning, "My Most Embarassing Robyn Moment?" Not long ago, at Robyn and Tim's show in Eugene, Oregon on June 5, my sister and I had the opportunity to meet Robyn. To preface the story: About five years ago Carole (my sister) was enrolled in a class called "Folklore and Subcultures." The class had to write a paper describing a certain subculture and how people operated within that subculture. Well, what better subculture to explore than Fegmania? So, Carole sent a polite letter to Robyn explaining the project. She asked if he had any anecdotedes about fans he might want to share--what was the strangest gift he's ever gotten? How did he feel about his fans? So on and so forth. Carole knew it was a long shot, but thought it was worth a try. Well, several weeks later (after the paper had already been turned in), Carole received a letter, postmarked from Washington DC, with Robyn's familiar scrawl on the front. In the letter, Robyn explained that he didn't think this letter would reach her in time, but that tour anecdotes were generally "too dull to mention or unprintable." He also mentioned that "someone gave us a lobster in a white bucket in Chicago once." All in all, it was a very kind response. Five years later, Carole still has Robyn's letter framed on her bedroom wall. At the Eugene show, she wanted to at least thank him for her letter, even if he didn't remember the incident. So, after the show, Robyn was wandering around the venue, looking tired, carrying a glass of red wine. My friend Brian approached Robyn and asked him to sign a cd, which Robyn politely did. At that point, Carole, looking very flustered, approached Robyn shyly as if he were the Dalai Lama. "Er, mynameisCaroleReichstein." she stammered. (To this, Steve, Robyn's manager, looked at her, amused, and smartly retorted, "Of course it is!". Laughter. Carole bravely persevered, trying not to appear too flustered. "Anyway, five years ago I wrote you a letter to ask you for information for a paper I was writing. You wrote me back a very nice letter, and while I didn't get it in time for the paper, I did get a B+ on it, and the professor said he really liked it. I've just always wanted to thank you for writing me back. It was very nice." Silence. Robyn blinked. He didn't seem to remember the incident, but seemed touched anyway. "Oh, sure, no problem, he said lamely." and laughed a little bit. Carole said thank you again and we all sort of scuttled sheepishly away. Does anybody else have a "Most Embarrasing Robyn Meeting" story to tell? I remember someone posting about standing next to Robyn in a urinal, but does anybody else have any weird /embarassing "I Met Robyn!" stories to tell? Do share. -- Karen Reichstein ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jul 1997 23:49:44 -0700 From: Eb Subject: My most embarrassing Robyn moment When I first heard Groovy Decay. ;) Eb ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jul 1997 09:08:26 +0200 From: jlaw@mem.unibe.ch (Jeff Lawrence) Subject: Re: me and RH >Date: Mon, 14 Jul 1997 18:20:32 -0700 >From: Nick Winkworth >I wonder how many countries the list includes (you can't always tell by >the domain).

First, animated cone .gifs, then a FegMap, now > this! Maybe Mike's one of them alien babies that NASA's been keeping under > wraps... Actually, those two albums helped bring the swelling down. My day yesterday consisted of 8 hours of work, 3 hours of class, 2 hours working on another class team project, 1 hour of a neighborhood birthday pool and beer party (great chicken, corn and cake with those caramel crunck Klondike bars!). By 10 I finally had the baby in bed, the Fegmaps up and running and by 11 I was down in bed next to my wife reading a new book about Druids that I got for my birthday. If it wasn't for Julian and Thom and the boys, my head would have pulled a Scanners thing... And yeah, I think the new Radiohead is excellent. And for anyone out there that appreciates Cope's more trippy, ambient side, Rite 2 far and away bests both Rite and the Queen Elizabeth side project. > 'Sides, anyone who rejects anything country-sounding out of hand is cutting > themselves off from not only a load of crap (and tell me 90% of college > radio isn't crap too, huh, huh?), but from Merle Haggard, the Mavericks, > Bob Wills, the Louvin Brothers, Wayne Hancock, BR5-49, Emmylou Harris, > large portions of the Kinks' MUSWELL HILLBILLIES, and the Greatest American > Songwriter Ever, Hank Williams.

While I always liked a slight touch of psuedo-country in my music (ala REMs "Rockville", John Doe, Lone Justice, etc), it wasn't until I met my wife that I finally dropped my fear and loathing and actually listened to some Gram, Emmylou, and Hank. Stuff that shouldn't be dismissed lightly. > Mike and I are not only the same age, but apparently have the same record > collection, aside from Ms. Shocked, who I don't *dislike.* I have lost > some interest in Sinead too, though I think everyone should own a copy of > Jah Wobble's RISING ABOVE BEDLAM, which features a boffo Sinead vocal on > "Visions of You."

Also her two songs on the Chieftans LONG BLACK VEIL were superb I thought. Wish I had RISING ABOVE BEDLAM. Waited to long to pick it up and now can never find it. The only Wire tape I have is A BELL IS A CUP...which I actually saw on CD the other day still in one of those long boxes, remember those? I actually used to collect those...I'd cut off the back and sides and keep the long unwieldy front. I've got a stack of 40 or so (including a few Robyn's) and my plan was to one day cover a wall, or at least go around a room with a ceiling border patter. Alas, this never panned out.

I was with a friend of a friend who was drunk off his ass, trying to impress the man by asking him questions about Maureen and the Meatpackers (at the time I didn't have a clue so stayed out of it), and other uncommon knowledge. Someone else had asked Robyn for an autograph, and when he obviously tired of the conversation he grabbed a vomit bag he had taken from a plane ride, scribbled "Robyn says vomit here" and thrust it at my 'friend' before making a quick getaway. I wanted to hope that he hadn't realized we'd come together, but it'd be rather egotistical of me to think he cared :).

Robyn had drawn a cartoon for me (part of one anyway...the ink in his pen ran out before he was finished, prompting him to say, "Well, it was gonna be a face but now it's a fly in a dish!" which is exactly what it looks like...but I digress...) and signed an autograph. Then I got greedy and asked him if he would join me in the "4 Pictures For 50 Cents" photo booth nearby. I envisioned four sequential wacky shots of Robyn and me in my scrapbook (I still think it would've been cool), but he just gave me an emphatic "NO" and walked away, giving my friends a giggle at my expense.
