(Thanks for all the sympathy cards, by the way, but I'm doing fine, and Burt called to let me know she'll be home by Halloween.) We would be happy to host a Starfunk Latchcluck Screening Party. The movie opens on a Wednesday, which would be ok, but if ya'll want to wait until the weekend, that would be fine too. The place is small, so we can't really host more than a handful of Fegs -- perhaps a little more than a Globe, less than a Fest. After the screening we can all hit the streets of New York and wander in a drunken stupor until we walk into a midnight Pearl Jam video shoot or something. And yes, Bayard, we can fix you up with some Khlau Khalash and Crab Juice. So just email with yeahs or nays and ideas -- and that included you, too, Gary Assa.

In fact I felt extremely sad when I first heard the Yip song and it continues to evoke strong emotions. When I first heard Robyn say it was about cancer , I almost felt a physical jolt.

When I said....... know that's precisely why I like his lyrics, they are not straightforward, >I can contemplate what the song means over a period of time, muse over >meanings and above all get the old brain to think for a change. ...... you were taking my words out of context as I was talking about Robyn's music in general and NOT the Yip song. Regarding whether Robyn's music touches the heart or not. I was thinking about how melancholy some of Robyn's acoustic music is just yesterday. I was listening to a solo set which I can't identify, but which had so many songs which evoked strong moods. I'm surrounded by illness at the moment in my family and have been feeling very down this past week or so. Yesterday I was really depressed, as my wife's mother is dying after a long illness. Many of Robyn's songs either uplifted me or empathized with my melancholy to such an extent that I had to play another tape as I was getting too down for my liking. On another occasion of course , the music might affect me differently .I'm frequently moved both intellectually AND emotionally by his music depending on my mood. Now that's just me, not you, as far as I'm concerned if the music doesn't touch your heart ,fine , but it does mine, so please don't tell me how I feel , because you just don't know what goes on in my head and never will , (unless they make you head of the Brain Police of course and then you can get in, but only if you have a warrant). dave .

Hey, I'm only responding to your own words. You defended the song, because it got "the old brain to think." You said *nothing* about being emotionally touched.
