The work of Sid and Marty Krofft is important! Tragic but inevitable -- I have trouble remembering what happened last month, and this series premiered a year before I started kindergarten. On the other hand, I'm sure that even if I don't consciously remember it, the show still shaped my personality in all sorts of ways.

Subject: Bumbershoot (5% Geddy Lee) Is Robyn really going to miss the festival this year? I haven't seen his name. That's really a drag as I have a friend flying in from New York for that weekend. I guess we'll have to be happy with Motorhead and Joan Jett. You people are mean to Geddy Lee. He's a short little dude who plays the piano and bass guitar. Mean, mean, mean. If any fegs are interested in meeting up at some show during Bumbershoot weekend (and I could use some recommendations), let me know. I'll be the one wandering around wondering what happened to real rock n roll. Jeme, Eddie? A: "You're better looking than me, my prrrrrrrrreeettty, and my little dog too.

Vince- I'll be there, as well as Michael Keefe, and Butch Gaylord (who is something to the feglist, not sure what). Recommendations?? you mentioned Motorhead, so you might not appreciate my tastes, but here's what I'll be looking forward to: Elliott Smith Sleater-Kinney Kristin Hersh Quasi Magnetic Fields John Wesley Harding Ani DiFranco Also, check out the instant poetry booth. you give them $1 and provide them a title, and they give you a three stanza poem typed out on a vintage typewriter.

By the way, does anyone have resources for checking out the goings on in Boston and NYC in the coming week? Can you share them?

There was never a show called "The Great White North"; that was an SCTV parody, so it doesn't count. Besides, Eb, how would *you* know, anyway?

This is a common misconception. As you'll no doubt recall, the Miss Eddels character mainly appeared during the all-too-rare "morality tale" episodes - such as "Who Put the Pus in My Mush," in which she appears at the end in order to explain that the diseased squid should have been treated with slightly more respect by the local police establishment, rather than being beaten with cricket bats and ultimately turned into not-so-delicious calimari. t "welcome back!" c writes: >p.s. I thought Geddy Lee and Margaret Hamilton were the same >person. I mean, didn't the first Rush album come out a year or >so after Sigmund and the Sea Monster went off the air? Obviously there's an uncanny physical resemblance, but this actually is yet *another* common misconception, reinforced over the years by the fact that the "Caress of Steel" LP was originally going to be entitled "Caress of LSD-Hallucination-Inspired Full-Body Puppet Costume." Then again, I could always be wrong...

Oh suuure, it was just a parody. Sheesh.

In defense of the young lady (aside from the fact that she doesn't actually say she has *good* taste), I think she is making the distinction between the manufactured teen groups who rely mostly on their singing and dancing skills and, as she puts it, "real music"--groups comprised of actual musicians. The kid is sixteen and probably hasn't been exposed to much, but she is at least sophisticated enough to know the difference and if that means something to her (as it should) then perhaps there is hope that she'll do some digging and discover that there is a world of music out there that goes well beyond anything she'll find on TV or commercial radio. When I was sixteen I thought Bad Company was cool. Of course I also loved the Beatles. This girl likes Pearl Jam, and in my opinion they are not only a group with some substance and value but they are also a group who, like REM, are record collectors who draw from a variety of influences. If she takes the time to discover to some of the records Pearl Jam has covered or talkled about in interviews or played on their various pirate radio shows she stands a decent chance of becoming as hip as all of us are some day. Have patience with the youth of America. They are still learning. - -rUss ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V9 #239 *******************************
