Uh, sorry, it's too late for that. They're in the history books, and not saying their names is not going to erase their notoriety or make people forget what they did. At the risk of invoking Godwin's law - if we all decided not to say the name of that German leader who murdered 10 million people, would that somehow erase him from our minds - including the minds of those who survived? The Jews say, "Never forget." By forgetting these crimes, and the sick people who committed them, we run the risk of repeating them. n. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 19:08:12 -0400 From: "Disinformant" Subject: Mr. Kennedy's older than I thought...

Buck, whose band has sold over 30 million albums, was charged on Saturday with causing criminal damage to British Airways Flight 48, being drunk on an aircraft, a separate public order offence and two counts of assaulting cabin crew, a police spokesman in London said. The guitarist was being held in custody at Heathrow Police Station and will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates Court on Monday. The spokesman said: "I can confirm that Peter Buck has been arrested and charged in connection with an air rage incident." Buck, 44, was arrested at Heathrow Airport when the flight from Seattle arrived at around 11 a.m. A spokesman for British Airways said Buck, travelling first class, was arrested after an alleged assault on two cabin crew members. The spokesman said cabin crew were still giving statements to police late on Saturday night. "Safety of passengers and crew is paramount. British Airways will not tolerate any threat to that safety," he said. R.E.M. is one of the world's biggest bands, achieving immense success throughout the 1990s. The band was due to play at the South Africa Freedom Day Concert in London's Trafalgar Square on April 29 in front of Nelson Mandela and an expected crowd of 20,000. ________________________________ FS Thomas mailto:ferris621@earthlink.net (home) mailto:ferris@ochremedia.com mailto:ferris_thomas@mcgraw-hill.com (work) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 10:14:56 -0700 From: "Kenneth Johnson" Subject: Re: In Defence of "Pulse of My Heart" well I have no property taxes and live within the Mult.

Lordy, there's so much of it. And that's coming from the Fulham-supporting bass barrister on the left of the stage. Or rather, it's coming from the Fender Jazz bass that he uses. It was pointed out that you could easily have both Matthew and Andy playing at the same time (and we did, once, I think). Andy uses a Precision, doesn't he? Any bass players out there? I didn't think it mattered, but I was just listening to Brian Eno on Radio 4's Today programme. Indeed, it was breakfast news for the nation, with Mr Eno discussing the immediate future of music. And his perception that people were looking for more detail. The human voice. Real instruments. So maybe the choice of bass is vital. And then you go downstairs and find Peter Buck in the Guardian.

I think Kim actually broke that second string before the start of R&RT, but I wasn't taking notes. The song that really suffered was Train round the bend, where Kimberley gamely kept hitting an out-of-tune chord all the way through.

Another variation in OTSR was "a taxidermist grinning with delight" instead of "looking for a fight".

Longtime fans may recall the band playing this onstage in late-1979; it's the meaner, more twisted side of The Soft Boys -- the guitars spit and grind whilst Robyn, alternating between Sol Feldthouse-type deep bass vocals and weird falsetto whine, delivers his finest set of lyrics to-date. Willie Whitelaw stretch your ears on this: "And are policemen gay?/Depends on what you mean/They are not you nor queer/But they all dig The Queen". There's a great stacatto fade-out chorus of "Our law and order's never going to break down", before the backing guitars momentarily fade in again. I've been meaning to ask this for a while: Does anyone have a live recording of the Soft Boys or Robyn doing "Do Policeman Sing?" This has always been one of my favorite RH songs.

I'm blowing off some work I should be doing, and came across a little piece from right after Groovy Decay came out. Interesting reading about the future before it happened: Richard Cook: Are you too old? Robyn Hitchcock: "Too old for one of these new Pop groups. But there's Debbie Harry, David Bowie, Ian Dury -- I'm a very slow learner. I never knew any guitar licks or even how to tune a guitar for ages. If I live to be 40 I want to buy a harpsichord and go and play by a lake and record that. My next 'production' record will be quite exotic, I expect." He riffles through a tatty notebook that lists some of his new songs. "There'll be a song about the Higsons -- um, 'Living In A Severed Head', 'Egyptian Cream', 'Sleeping Knights Of Jesus', 'The Clockwork Spinster', 'Messages Of Dark' -- that one's about being in love with a spider."

Actually, I think this is an error of the article's author or the transcriber. Robyn is saying "There'll be songs about The Higsons, living in a severed head, Egyptian cream, sleeping knights of Jesus, the clockwork spinster, messages of dark...." In other words, he'll have a song about The Higsons (Listening to The Higsons, of course), living in a severed head (The Abandoned Brain), sleeping knights of Jesus (Ye Sleeping Knights of Jesus), the clockwork spinster (Point It at Gran?), and messages of dark (of course, Messages of Dark). Anyway, that's my take.
