FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED For more information contact: Mark DeMoss or Beth Bragg (770) 813-0000 LYNCHBURG, VA, February 11, 1999 - -- Shortly after revealing the sexual proclivities of Teletubbies' "Tinky Winky" to the television viewers of the world, Jerry Falwell today announced that he has uncovered what may be the largest gay conspiracy in history: The United Parcel Service (UPS). "It it widely known that brown is the color of gay pride," said Falwell, citing The Brownstone Cafe, a gay-oriented bar in Connecticut (http://www.corpcenter.com/bstone/). "For many years, UPS has been clothing their delivery men in brown uniforms as a subtle but no doubt intentional sign of their allegiance to the gay agenda." Falwell contends that the "subtle indications" are pervasive throughout the company, and in a statement issued Wednesday said, "As a Christian I feel that these people, promoting the gay lifestyle, are damaging to the moral development of every individual in this country." "The delivery persons, many of them male, have been found carrying women's lingerie and mysterious packages wrapped in plain BROWN paper to addresses, homes, even families all over the world," he said. "With 222 airplanes in its worldwide delivery fleet and an additional 302 chartered aircraft, UPS has a fleet larger than the air defense force of many countries," Falwell said. "To see such resources used to promote moral decline across the planet, well, I simply find that staggering." Falwell did not address the inclinations of Federal Express or Airborne Express, whose delivery personnel wear uniforms of different colors. A spokesman for United Parcel Services denied the allegations strenously. "The colors we wear do not make us gay," Joe Schwinger said. "It's a distinctive eye-catching uniform, folks, and nothing more. To think that we would be putting sexual innuendo in our corporate image is kind of outlandish." Schwinger said that Falwell was attacking "something harmless and innocent" to further his conservative political agenda. "To 'out' a hard-working package delivery man is kind of sad on his part. I really find it absurd, and kind of offensive," he said. Falwell's spokeswoman, Lara Schwickard, said the founder of the now- defunct Moral Majority strongly identified with everything that was in the NLJ article and would not comment further. In 1997, Falwell urged General Motors, Chrysler and Johnson & Johnson to withdraw their sponsorship of an episode of the sitcom ``Ellen'' when the lead character announced her homosexuality. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 19:46:44 -0500 (CDT) From: Gregory Stuart Shell Subject: More Judicial Smeg Not just in the US: February 11, 1999 Web posted at: 6:15 p.m. EST (2315 GMT) ROME (CNN) On Wednesday, Italy's male-dominated appeals court overturned the conviction of 45-year-old driving instructor Carmine Cristiano, who had been sentenced to two years and eight months in prison for raping an 18-year-old student. "It is common knowledge ... that jeans cannot even be partly removed without the effective help of the person wearing them ... and it is impossible if the victim is struggling with all her might," the court said. It just gets weirder every day. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 17:46:19 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Re: TLA JDignan: >>Oh, So you think you Can stump Ebony Bill, eh? Yes?

Or perhaps You were just hoping to *Bug* > >Fuckin' A, Eb! > >It probably could be done... yikes! Would there be a A-> UK-> Red link in >there somewhere? Or Up->Eye? I actually did give the question some thought. I don't think a link is possible, given the three-letter-album restriction. And Palmer never played in UK, did he? I thought Terry Bozzio was UK's drummer, and earlier, Bill Bruford. No? Maybe Simon Phillips was in there somewhere too? I dunno. But I'm fairly certain that Palmer was never involved. Anyway...RH did "Eye." Palmer had a solo project called PM, whose one album was called "1 PM." OK, so far so good, but no further inroads came to mind. Kinda tough to make personnel connections, since "Eye" was essentially a one-man album and PM was composed of faceless prog hacks. And I don't think RH and CP played on any other three-letter albums. At first, I thought the key might be Palmer's short-lived trio with Emerson, called 3 (one late '80s album on Geffen). I was thinking that the 3 album was self-titled, and that perhaps I could move further from there, since 3's A&R dude was the ubiquitous John Kalodner. But after doing a web search, I discovered that the 3 album was actually called "To the Power of Three." Oops. Well, scratch that idea. Hey, it's not like Bayard has a solution ready, himself. Heh heh. Eb, who thinks his album-title-incorporation post was rather underappreciated (or perhaps altogether uncomprehended?), beyond the above response ;P ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 18:21:07 -0800 From: Eb Subject: The Ramblin' Man, Part 2 OK, so I innocently asked Jason Falkner, "What's with the presidential imagery on the album cover?" Answer: "The presidential imagery is totally coincidental. Well, actually no, I lie. I'm running for President. [laugh] Let's see, I had my friend come down to New Orleans and shoot a bunch of pictures where we recorded. That was before I had a concept for this. Then I was in the shower one day, and I'm like 'You know what? I should have a concept for this.' Because musically and lyrically, I think I'm making a statement, whether that statement be really abstract or not. I mean, I think it is an abstract statement, but I still think it's a statement of sort of, uhh...unintervened creativity. I think everybody has something to say, and they should express themselves. And that's what I'm doing. But I thought that visually, it should have some sort of concept. So it just dawned on me - -- this thing that I lament all the time is the end of that era of rock 'n' roll where there was just the hugeness of a band like Zeppelin, or the Beatles or the Stones. Just like that giant, much larger-than-life thing, where you had your own plane, your life was in airports and just crazy shit like that. That's an era that's over. Nobody will make that impact anymore, ever again. And have quality, I should say, and massive amounts of substance and integrity like those bands. I mean, the Spice Girls have that impact, but, well...I don't need to elaborate. It's a different world. And also, the behavior of those bands. There's something really raunchy about them. That's one of the things I was attracted to. I'm not saying that's why I make music. But I certainly was attracted to girls, and that whole rock 'n' roll lifestyle of the '70s. So I thought I'd just have this picture of me where I'm kinda forlorn-looking, like waiting for my party that's never going to show up, because it's just a different era and you'd be lambasted if you acted like that now. Oasis tried to get away with it, and look at the backlash surrounding that band. But the presidential thing is totally accidental. We were en-route to another plane at this desert airport, and I saw that rudder with the American flag and I'm like, 'Holy mother of God, we better go take pictures next to that!' It was so ominous. It was a 747 too -- a massive jet, with that weird paint-job. And the guy at the airport who was driving us around was like [goes into character voice somewhere between Bill Murray and Walter Brennan], 'Yeah, it's an interesting story on that one, over there. That was a bunch of disgruntled pilots in the '80s who decided to get together and forego the union, and start their own airline company.' They painted one jet, and the whole thing went under. And they still have the jet sitting there. I forget what it was called, but that's the one plane. Everybody was like, 'That's super-posed, man. Come on.' But no, it was right behind me. That giant plane. There wasn't a lot of thought that went into me wearing a suit. No one styled me. It was my own stuff that I was wearing. I found a Sassoon suit from the early '80s, and I wanted to find a suit that looked different from suits right now. I can't afford a really expensive suit anyway, nor do I like how most of them fit. I like the tighter suits of the late '70s and early '80s. So I'm just wearing my stuff and walking down the runway. At first glance, it looks like, 'Oh, he's all slicked out. Wow, he cleans up.' But in reality, it was just random, the whole suit-and-tie thing. It's just that every once in awhile, I wear a suit and a tie. It's not like my shtick or anything. And inside, the girl was originally supposed to be in black and white. And in fact, on the CD single, she's in black and white and I'm in color. That was because she's almost like this ghost of the past. She's in a real '70s kind of stewardess outfit, serving me a cocktail on a plane like that. It's tongue in cheek, but it's also kind of like a fantasy, you know? A fantasy that I don't personally get away with. Maybe I'm too repressed to act like that in real life. So I play it out in my album shoots." So there you go. Simple enough.

As a gay man and as an agnostic, I think attitudes like this are far more damaging to the moral development of this country. I'd like to quote something that these so called "christians" are supposed to believe (since it does come from the "Bible"). "Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself".

Oh, the "she didn't fight him hard enough" defense. Beautiful. Since when did whether or not something is a sexual assault depend on how hard the victim fought back? Very nifty the way they combined that with the suggestion that she was a willing participant. It should be noted that often fighting back can get you killed. As can resisting anything they ask, even verbally. Which is not to say never do it, but it's one of many reasons some people don't (well that and terror, and shock, and a host of other things). Why am I telling this to you guys? I should be telling this to, I don't know, some relevant party or other in Italy. After I stop vomiting, that is.

The victim mentality can also play a part; that is, if this woman had been victimized in the past, she would be a much easier target for abusers than someone who had led a relatively assault-free life. A woman who had been sexually assaulted before might not put up much of a struggle, which is by no means a justification, but an observation. The real trouble comes from the outcome of cases like this one: the court is virtually green-lighting rape, which means other rape victims will not come forward, which in turn makes them feel like victims for life, and thus ripe for further abuse. To say nothing of the rapist, merrily continuing his terrible business. The circle continues unbroken. How utterly fucked. > Why am I telling this to you guys? > I should be telling this to, I don't know, some relevant party or other in > Italy.

Anne Frank is the influence for most of the album, she's the one that keeps cropping up even when he's busy with someone else. The reason it was kept quite about Miss Frank's influence was so that when NMH did a european tour they wouldn't have problems in Germany (in particular). Now the big question is what is the influence (or rather who) for "on avery island", because there is one, Jeff was very coy about this. I figure the concept of ITAOTS is love and growing up (different loves, missed loves etc.). I wish he'd say how to remove the cd from the machine as my copy always seems to be in there. - ----------------************************************************------------ "There are times when i can't think about the future, when all my days seem so dark and life seems cruel" - Mojave 3 & "Make a moment last forever, gaze across the ocean to the sun" - Unknown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 09:14:58 -0600 From: "JH3" Subject: I forgot: Mandatory prison terms for comb-overs >> Easy - something I've been advocating for years: Vastly beefed-up foreign >> language requirements in American schools, and mandatory accent lessions for >> all citizens traveling to other English-speaking countries.
