I don't think this was sent the first time around. My apologies if anyone receives it twice... Regarding this Chris Gaines thing, why is what Garth is doing worse than the Rutles, Spinal Tap, the Dukes of Stratosphear, the Travelling Wilburys, Eddie and the Cruisers, et al? I think that maybe Garth is tired of being Garth and wanted to explore some new territory without alienating fans by going in a radically different direction under his own name.

At least I can take solace in the fact that the 49ers fans -- those that still admit to being fans -- finally know what it's like to root for an inept team.

At the risk of getting gang banged, I'm gonna say it anyways; I'm really sick of people using controversial/ loaded terms (Viv and her cunt issues), or subjects (feg breasts), or pictures (Quail), and then being surprised that they've offended anyone. There's no such thing as a joke in the bible. Personally, I believe that jokes of this nature are nothing more than socially acceptable hostility. I believe that people tell loaded jokes to get a rise out of other people. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be allowed to tell them, just don't act surprised when you're asked to defend yourself. Jeez! Think about it, would this current circlejerk be as much fun without any friction?

If I may, I'm personally offended by the use of the term "gang-banged". Mike ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V8 #447 *******************************
