Seconded. What would you tell my 5-year-old, who asked a month ago "why are there guns, daddy?" My (not-entirely-satisfactory, not-terribly-comprehensive, but at least appropriate for his age) answer was: "there are mean people in the world who do bad things, like hurt other people. Policemen have guns so they can stop the mean people from being mean." This did, however, lead to a hilariously funny (to me, anyway) interchange with Max (my son) a couple of weeks ago, the morning after a very late night at work: Max: Daddy, why didn't you come home last night? Me: I did, but you were already asleep. Max: Why? Me: Because the mean people at work said I had to stay and work for a long time. Max: We should get the policeman to go to Daddy's work. Me: Why? Max: Because they stop mean people from doing bad things to people. Altogether now: awwwwwwww!

I don't know anything about the song in question, so to all the LB fans on fegmaniax (I'm guessing there are thousands) I am NOT dissing your band. No need to bust my head open. When I think about what it is I want to shelter my kid from, during the tiny handful of years that I'm able to shelter him from things, I find that expressions of rage are near the top of the list. Rage is a way of acting, it's screaming, getting in your face, etc... It's bad behavior, at least for a 10 year old. Stupid hateful *ideas* like misogyny or racism, for some reason I feel like it will be easier balance those out with my own ideas ("Daddy, what does 'bitch' mean?" "Well, son, it's a word men use when they're either afraid of women or ashamed of their penises.") I guess what I'm saying is that I'm less concerned about the actual lyrical content of violent or aggressive or stupid music, than I am about the general tone of anger and rage. Why? Not sure. I know that rage is extremely useful once you reach, oh, 15 or so. I don't know how I would have survived adolescence without it. I guess I would prefer for my young one to remain focused on joy for as long as possible. You only get the one childhood. There will be plenty of time for him to understand that there are all kinds of things in the world to scream about. By the way, the title of the song in question is popular slang for taking Ecstasy, though I have no idea if the song is about anything, let alone that. Drugs are a very very very good thing, a wonderful lovely thing, a sweet and beautiful thing, and everybody should always take drugs all the time. Except for my kid. At least not when he's 10. He's not quite 3 now and we keep a pretty tight grip on the Children's Tylenol. +brian ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 May 2001 18:39:12 -0400 (EDT) From: Christopher Gross Subject: RE: fegmaniax-digest V10 #171 On Tue, 1 May 2001, Yudt.Matthew wrote: > > Chris: > > >I was just reading that > > >gardening book while trying to grow illegal drugs in the back yard > > How many of us got our start.

But as long as we're talking about drug books, I rescued an excellent pamphlet from a dumpster once: A Field Guide to Psychedelic Mushrooms, complete with copious illustrations. I can't imagine why that was thrown out. If it was a good guide, you'd want to keep it, right?

Needless to say, no one joined in on >that song. Ahh, memories... Interesting. While our first dance song was not a Robyn song, my wife and I used "Chinese Water Python" as the attendants' processional. Our dance songs were "When I'm 64" by the Beatles and "Lovesong" by the Cure. Music is such an important part of our lives that nearly everything we did at the ceremony and reception was accompanied by appropriate music. Ours was a Scottish wedding , so naturally bagpipes played as guests arrived as well as after the ceremony while we were in the receiving line. During the ceremony, we looked lovingly into each others' eyes while "Grow Old With Me" by John Lennon played, our recessional numbers were "Liberty Bell March" (complete with the sound of the foot squashing the music) which went right into "All You Need Is Love". Fellow Fegs Mark Gloster (you may know him from such musical productions as "Jesus Christ, Super Shark" and "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Shark Boys") and Crazy Unca' Nick Winkworth supplied much of the music during the reception including the song that introduced Carol and me as we entered the reception area: "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" Thanks a lot, guys. When I took off Carol's garter, it was to the accompaniment of Joe Cocker's version of "You Can Leave Your Hat On". Carol tossed the bouquet while Cyndi Lauper belted out "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Oh yeah, Mark not only supplied some pre-ceremonial acoustic guitar stylings, but also wrote Carol's bridal processional as his wedding gift to us. Totally super.

Amen, Brother James. Upon the release of EYE, "Cynthia Mask" became the song I liked most. After I'd gotten to know it well through many repeated listenings, I was watching TV one afternoon. It was one of those History Channel WWII "documentaries" that my remote had landed on. Much to my ganja-addled brain's amusement/amazement, being shown was an archival film clip of Chamberlain, following a meeting with Hitler, waving (you guessed it) a piece of paper at the camera that said 'Peace in our time'. The second verse became my favorite one after that, but certainly the whole song is brilliant. Including the part that James neglected to mention about the "gnarly babes" being used "for pleasure and profit", a verse that I (perhaps misguidedly) interpret to be about how marketing to children borders on child abuse. "The Robyn Hitchcock Show"-Completist-Weenie Note: The _Interview With Diedre_ radio show version of "Cynthia Mask" with it's early run-through unfinished lyrics is well worth seeking out. /hal PS - Another vote for a squirt of Round-Up to kill weeds ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 May 2001 18:45:19 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Swedene Subject: Audiophiles - question....

Have you checked out the words to St. Petersburg? How 'bout Strange? They are the closest thing to scary ALFRED Hitchcock you'll find.
