(at least these last two are the reason why i at this point have so little dylan stuff so far). and finally, because dylan's voice is peculiar, a lot of people who like his writing would rather just buy byrds or joan baez albums, figuring they can have the songs and purty singin' too. ===== "America's greatest natural resource, still, to this day, is the moron" --Martin Mull __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I know I haven't been able to post much lately -- I have been very busy doing various things, such as reading the entire Fuentes oeuvre, surgically attaching the heads of small girls to small dogs, constructing tall brown vertical pointy things and peppering the Northwest with them, and looking up how to spell "oeuvre." But nevertheless I wanted to post a big agreement with Joel. I like nudity in movies, and I think *all* movies could be improved with more nudity, especially nudity of the female variety. Nudity would have drastically improved such films as "The X-Files" and "VH1 Interviews Tori Amos," it would have made movies such as "Nixon" and "Saving Private Ryan" more interesting, and it might have even made "The Goonies" bearable. In fact, even my favorite "Wings of Desire" could have used a few naked angels, and I was *certainly* holding out for more nudity in "Fiddler on the Roof." Additionally, I think Disney really dropped the nudity ball after "Fantasia." God, what with such stellar opportunities with Ariel and Pocahontas? Sigh. Male nudity is just fine, too, and could have improved such films as "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence," "The Hunger," "The Man Who Fell to Earth," "Labyrinth," "Absolute Beginners," "The Linguini Incident," "The Lat Temptation of Christ," and "Basquiat."

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Vivien. Lo these many moons ago, I was taken captive by a monkey I'll call 'J-Mee.' After much hardship and not a few terrifying adventures, I have managed to escape his fetid clutch, and here I am to tell the tale. Actually, Portland is darling (such a cute public transportation system they have! Hee!), and there is much to love about living here. I mean, I stood a foot away from Elliot Smith at my third or fourth show in town, and I don't even know who he is! They tell me he's some local dude. Whatever. Anyway, I spent most of yesterday consuming digest after digest and losing all touch with reality, and I have just a few things to add the ongoing permutative conversation: 1. JH3 is really funny. I must have laughed right out loud four or five times yesterday because of that man. 2. Eb can be excruciatingly funny. He can also be...excruciating. 3. Ursula Le Guin may have invented the word 'ansible,' but the idea originated in a short story by James Blish called 'Beep' (though he calls it a Dirac* Communicator). She acknowledges this in the introduction to 'Lathe of Heaven,' I believe. All you SF fans should read Blish. He's awesome. 4. Eddie stopped by last night while on the first leg of his epic journey and carved a pumpkin. He chose the largest one and cut a giant '666' into it. SCARY. 5. Coffee is my life's blood. But I hate the extreme cultural pressure to drink it. And I hate motherfucking Starbucks and Coffee-Chain-of-the-Week on every other motherfucking street corner. 6. As far as TMBG fans not wanting to dance: Au contraire, mon frere. Dancing is the only metabolically possibly reaction to a TMBG live show. 7. Speaking of dancing, the Viva Sea-Tac Dance will own your soul. Any day now. Vivien *Dirac was a real guy, a scientist sort of fellow. Jeme knows more.

This is actually kinda weird. Their existence postdates my cowriting of the song by several years, but they do lay claim to being the first band on the internet. Someone pointed out their logo on a window @ the Apple campus while I worked there. I went up to check it out and a guy who worked there was in the band. It was mostly a bunch of, well, umm, old guys like me playing with a young whippersnapper guitarist kid. It is an exceptionally small world.

Your "exotic" espresso is no more different from plain old Columbian than a Tanzanian Peaberry is different from a Costa Rican Tarazu. And in fact, most espresso beans aren't "exotic" (meaning foreign) at all. They are most often American beans roasted in a method developed in Italy.

"Crack, and we do mean crack, scientists in space have been researching the effects of a lack of vices on behavior, and determined that it makes them very cross to avoid said substances.

It is also alledged that he sent an email to John Linnel, calling him a 'wussy little pansy pointdexter who has no emotional appeal.'" "John Linnel could not be reached for comment. Ground station commander Major Fleegle Shewaneeania Finknottle Bugawugga Smythe stated that he 'had thought the images from the shuttle were of a new planet.'" "The outbursts were labeled as uncharacteristic for the officer in question by NASA spokesperson Suzanne Clabbered Cream-Chaise. She did recommend that "hookers, pornography, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and heroin be sent on future missions to allow the astronauts to keep focused on why they're up there." She also indicated that future vice testing would only be performed in locations further away. "We're working with the LaRouche people right now about obtaining private funds to send them to the sun for more of these types of tests." I think I just made up that last part.
