Because he solved his worldly troubles. He's now a Buddhist monk and has forsworn the trappings of his previous life. Vivien I've known several Buddhist monks, they're quite the mind-fuck to converse with. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Speaking of Leonard... I just remembered a much better, more heart-wrenching song of his. 'Famous Blue Raincoat' is (this is just what I've heard, mind you, and I know fuck-all about Bob Dylan) about Bob Dylan seducing Cohen's wife.

In that case, how about something by Ray Stevens? "Furthermore" or "Get Your Tongue Out Of My Mouth Cuz I'm Kissin' You Goodbye," or "How Could You Have Believed Me When I Said 'I Love You' When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life" are all excellent choices. Maybe "You're The Reason our Kids Are Ugly" by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn? How about "Went Home With A 10 At 2 (Woke Up With 2 At 10)" by Willie Nelson? On the non-country side, how about a Mark Gloster and BRS toon? "Monday's Lunch" or "Where Did The Money Go" are recommended.

Speaking of diablo, I just got 69 love songs two days ago, and was listening to it when the digest jampacked with posts on this subject graced my mailbox. I got the impression that the songs didn't necessarily have to be "anti-" love songs, per se, just that they had to have a novel take on the subject. I could be wrong, though. Anyway, a good deal of the songs on this collection would certainly qualify. Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits, for instance. Oh, and by the way, I really like it. Esp. Promises of Eternity and Long-Forgotten Fairy Tale from disc 2, and Busby Berkeley Dreams from disc 3. But it's definitely a compilation wherein the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The songs have a wonderful variety of textures and tones, and it creates a nice rhythm as you get through each disc. - -Michael Wolfe ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 19:54:30 -0800 (PST) From: Doc Subject: Re: fegmaniax-digest V9 #25 > Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 17:14:36 -0500 > From: "jbranscombe@compuserve.com" > Subject: This Is Not A Love Song > >I've been asked to get some songs together for an alternative >Valentine's Day party.
