Well, if you want to learn 'Oh Susanna' and 'Clementine', forget everything that jmbc said about using an A harmonica when everyone else is playing E (or is it the other way round?). You just play them in the same key as everybody else, over and over again, until someone throws you out of the room. Then you learn 'Polly Wolly Doodle' and possibly 'Home Sweet Home'. - - Mike Godwin n.p.

Thatcher was known as the Iron Lady. One of her most famous speeches included the phrase 'The lady's not for turning'(Not that the evil shit would have recognised the reference her speechwriter was half-inching from the Christopher Fry play). You try steering a huge sledge with loads of people on top along for the trip. I think the sledge imagery conjures up the inexorability of Britain's downhill ride during Maggie's Malign Majesty superbly. jmbc Harp PS - I find it far easier to play blues riffs than tunes...but maybe that's because I'm a blind, black sharecropper from Mississip'... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 22:05:33 -0500 From: "brian nupp" Subject: Re: Sweden >From: Julie Nelson >I know that Robyn just played in Stockholm and there's >that version of >"Alright, Yeah," so I am curious if there are and Swedes on the list?

Now that you mention it I do recall seeing Heart on the Ed Sullivan show in late January, 1964. I remember thinking "how can that stupid English band that's going to be on next week possibly top this?!" and begging my dad to take me to the record store the next day to look for a copy of Barracuda. - -rUss PS at dinner tonight my young daughter, who had just seen a show on the world's tallest person, asked me who the world's fattest person was. I almost answered "Ann Wilson" but decided that wouldn't be nice. Besides, I think Louie Anderson is probably fatter. Not that there's anything wrong with that. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 00:18:20 -0600 From: steve Subject: For Eb http://www.flakmag.com/features/bdb.html - - Steve __________ Religious wars are basically people killing each other over who has the better imaginary friend. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 22:51:52 -0700 From: Eb Subject: reap Gregory Corso.

I give it two T-Bones up. It is so packed with goodies, so meaningful and funny and playful--I think I may be at a loss for words. ...Well, as the Athena I am, not quite;-) All that yellowy/chatreusy/goldy glow--not Coppala gold by lemon gold. On Gods golden shore and band of gold and gold on the lips of the waders in the water(and did anyone else notice how when Ulysses finially told the truth about the treasure his face was black but his lips shone white)... And Clark, I mean Clooney, I mean Odysseus, the wanderer, harried for years(glad to see they used the Fitzgerald trans) and out of it sang the blues of his own unlooked for salvation. What a freakin moral movie-- where the good guys are all guilty as sin but the bad guys are judges and the hellhound on your trail who can only be stopped by the waters of mercy. And Robert, I mean Dorothy, I mean Tommy Johnson's blues at the crossroad, and bipolar(was it just me, or were most of the objects in the flood round and turning?)George Nelson, and of course the Great Depression itself... And Goodman as a cyclops(wicked witch) with the burning brand, I mean cross, as his demise, and... and ... got to see it agin. Golden fertalizing shit, this movie is dense. But where was Athena? Blown-away K And I tell you -- that Turturro, can he ever dance! And Durning getting to have fun for once and do slapstick. n.p. started out as Rod Stewart doing Man of Constant Sorrow but has turned into Beck-Ola really loud. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V10 #17 *******************************
