Thank goodness those old clips of people like Stevie Wonder are still in circulation. I love Robyn to death, but I don't think I'd necessarily want him talking to Elmo about breathing light bulbs, sentient tomato vines, etc. etc. the poor Muppet might not know quite how to respond to him. I imagine RH is wonderful with kids -- his pan-ensouled view of the world might jibe pretty well with a six-year old's...I think that's why this fiction struck me as oddly plausible. marshall np Fugazi, Instrument ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2000 11:04:50 -0800 From: Mark_Gloster@3com.com Subject: Re: Ever hear of...? >Anton Barbeau? He writes twisted pop songs about mind-controlling >waterbugs and beetles, groovy trays, and creamy weasels. Check him >out! Hi Kids! I'm back from my gruelling ski trip (it was super! thanks for asking.) Anton, at least, used to be on this list, then through a friend was associated. About 3 years ago a bunch o' fegs went to one of his gigs in a small shoebox of a place in San Francisco. Most of us bought his CD's and he was great to chat with. The sound was bad at the show, but we had lots of fun. I highly recommend Anton for adventurous fegs. For more sensitive fegs who may be shocked by songs about wanting to watch girls pee, maybe a more comfortable artist would be in order.... Anton has a really great voice and really does play guitar. I think he has a revolving-door musician situation that might make it difficult to get attached to his backing band. That may have changed. The Loud Family was the other band on the ticket, and their (newly returned) drummer was really great. I guess I really liked them as a band, but thought Anton was more emotive and perhaps a more effective songwriter. There is another somewhat Hitchcockian guy out of San Francisco who was recently signed to a development deal at Dreamworks, but I can't seem to remember his name- great songwriter, tho.... When my brain starts working again, I'll let y'all know. Oh, please don't hold your breath. Hope yer all doing great. Don't expect me to catch up to you all on the list any time soon.
