First off while I was in high school (four years to be precise) all of my upper-classmates refused to call me by my first name ever. In fact I was reduced to Frisby, short and simple and also a bit silly. I was glad I became a Senior myself eventually. Yeah King Crimson's last album was a bit awkward but as someone else pointed out their live performances of those songs were anything but stiff. A companion of mine explained it was the most messed up she ever felt while she was sober. It was very good even with all the nose in the air Berklee-ites there...but oh well. I wonder who'll be more scared Crimson themselves or the Tool fans they'll hopefully enlighten/pummel? All I know is that it'll be like throwing water on an oil fire...very interesting. I just hope they fare better then David Bowie did with NIN fans..I know people who hated Bowie just because they saw him on that tour, whether or not he gave a good performance. I'm having a lot of trouble thinking of any fave hidden tracks..probably because they're hidden I suppose. Matthew Seligman sent me two very nice messages after I had dropped underwatermoonlight.com a little note complimenting it. He wanted to know how I liked the UK tour diaries, and the diaries in general. I told him that they were fun, informative, and not overly voyeuristic. He seemed to feel relieved after that. I must say he seems like the nicest Barrister/Lawyer ever to grace the music scene, and maybe if I may be so bold the nicest to grace the legal system also. and yes Townshend touches me.

Brown" Subject: Ken Burns' next project (fwd) I just had this forwarded to me -Jason Ken Burns' "Ken Burns" will be the next production from America's self-described "greatest living documentary filmmaker." The indefatigable Burns will examine his own life in thorough, even exhaustive detail - 18 two-hour shows, a 650- page coffee table book, calendars, neckties, napkin rings, a bagel toaster, a children's breakfast cereal, a Sony Playstation 2 game, and a 9-volume CD set of his favorite music, including one CD of him humming what may or may not be his favorite show tunes. Narrators will include John Chancellor, James Earl Jones, Garrison Keillor, Maya Angelou, Wynton Marsalis, Rosie O'Donnell, Barney Frank, Buck O'Neill, Jaime Escalante, Bill Clinton, Shelby Foote, Sister Wendy, Yo-Yo Ma, and a member of 'NSync to be named later. "This is the next logical step in my development as America's best-loved and smartest person," said Burns at a press conference. "I was the first American to really 'get' the was the first person to figure out that baseball had a social importance beyond the beer-swilling yahoos who watch it. And most recently, I forced America to acknowledge that Negroes had a key role in the birth and development of jazz music. Now I want to share my life's pilgrimage -- an adventure that is nothing less than a blueprint for Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey -- so that others might benefit." Burns will utilize archival photos, drawings, vintage 8mm family film clips and Japanese shadow puppets to dramatize his life. Interviews will include Mrs. Blanche Goltz, his 3rd grade teacher; Finley Blasingame, his agent; Kent Zimmer, a man he impressed at a party by naming every member of the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" quintet; and Thorndyke Havrisham Jr., Vice-President of Public Broadcasting and the third person to call Burns a genius. After a lengthy negotiation, Burns has also agreed to an extensive interview with himself. "I didn't know if I could get me. But after I explained just how important I was to my story, I talked myself into it." He didn't disappoint himself - he was able to uncover surprising insights about his own life. "Before I undertook this project," says Burns, "I had no idea that I had done so much to enlighten so many ignorant, wretched people. I had no idea I was such an avatar of enlightened edu-tainment, especially as it pertains to my funky soul brothers. And I had no idea that I liked great old movies, romantic walks on the beach, and a glass of wine by the fire." The entire project will take 5 years and cost 11 million dollars. The cost is being underwritten by General Motors, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and whatever tobacco company is most in need of positive PR spin at the end of this year. The first episode, "From Cosmic Dream-Dust to Potty-Training" will air in 2005. The last episode, "Everything A Human Being Can and Should Be" might air as late as 2007. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 12:15:01 +1200 From: grutness@surf4nix.com (James Dignan) Subject: more stuff than necessary being replied to >:) You hear about Mick and Keith at least as often as Jagger and Richards, >I think.

Actually makes me think even more of the Vice President; didn't he have two drunk driving convictions? I do think this rule is reasonable though; well, actually I think only two should be a felony, and even one conviction should prohibit you from ever holding a driver's license again. We need to get these bastards off the street!

From: McSpotlight To: list@mclibel.org Subject: [McLibel] Hindu Group Vandalizes McDonald's Date: Tue, 08 May 2001 10:59:20 +0100 Friday May 4 3:53 PM ET Hindu Group Vandalizes McDonald's By NIRMALA GEORGE, Associated Press Writer NEW DELHI, India (AP) - A Hindu fundamentalist group on Friday vandalized a McDonald's restaurant in a Bombay suburb to protest against the alleged use of beef flavoring in the chain's French fries in the United States, police said. Restaurant customers fled, as members of the Bajrang Dal charged into the restaurant in Thane, a northeastern Bombay suburb, and smashed furniture and ceiling lights. There were no reports of injuries, police said. McDonald's Corp. says it does not use any animal extracts in its French fries in India, where the cow is considered sacred by most Hindus. In southern Bombay on Friday, a McDonald's store was surrounded by demonstrators from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, who shouted slogans and smeared cow dung on the restaurant's mascot. The Shiv Sena, another Hindu group, had said it would protest outside the corporate office of McDonald's in India on Saturday after front-page newspaper reports of a lawsuit filed in the United States. An Indian-American lawyer accused McDonald's of using beef fat in the preparation of French fries more than a decade after it said it would cook its fries in vegetable oil. The lawsuit for unspecified damages was filed on behalf of two Hindus who don't eat meat and one non-Hindu vegetarian Tuesday in King County Superior Court, in Seattle. Most of India's Hindus - 85 percent of the population - are vegetarians, although with urbanization and migration more Indians are becoming meat eaters. After news reports about the court case, McDonald's India issued a brief statement: ``McDonald's India categorically states that French fries that we serve in India do not contain any beef or animal extracts, of whatsoever kind. ``Right from the processing stage until it is cooked and served to the customer, we only use 100 percent vegetable oil in India,'' the statement said. Jai Bhagwan Goyal, the local head of Shiv Sena, was skeptical of the McDonald's assurance, saying the company had made similar promises in the United States 10 years ago, but continued to use beef flavoring in French fries. ``How do we know what they are serving in India? We can't take them at their word,'' said Goyal. The Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's Corp. announced in 1990 that its restaurants would no longer use beef fat in making French fries and that only pure vegetable oil would be used. The fast-food chain released a statement Wednesday saying it has never claimed the fries it sells in the United States are vegetarian. The statement said the recipe for the fries uses a ``a minuscule trace of beef flavoring, not tallow.'' Tallow is essentially shortening made from beef fat. McDonald's adds a small amount of beef extract while the potatoes are being cooked, it said. McDonald's India, which opened its first restaurant in India in October 1996, now has 28 outlets in New Delhi, Bombay, Pune, Jaipur and on the Delhi-Agra highway. full story: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010504/bs/india_mcdonald_s_1.html Cheers - -- McSpotlight: Part of the McInformation Network URL: www.mcspotlight.org DR: http://www.mcspotlight.org/DR/index.shtml Email List: get on: send blank mail to list-subscribe@mclibel.org get off: send blank mail to list-unsubscribe@mclibel.org help: send blank mail to list-help@mclibel.org human: send meaningful email to list-owner@mclibel.org - ---- the McLibel mailing list ---- McDonald's, McLibel, multinationals http://www.mcspotlight.org get on: send blank mail to list-subscribe@mclibel.org get off: send blank mail to list-unsubscribe@mclibel.org help: send blank mail to list-help@mclibel.org human: send meaningful email to list-owner@mclibel.org submit: send stuff to list-submit@mclibel.org _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 00:47:12 -0400 From: /dev/woj Subject: Re: Secret tracks when we last left our heroes, Capuchin (capuchin@bitmine.net) exclaimed: >How many CDs do you know of with the pre-track 1 hidden track? one of the discs in boiled in lead's _alloy_ set has one of these hidden tracks. i forget which one though. woj ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 08 May 2001 22:47:27 -0600 From: HAL Subject: Re: more stuff than necessary being replied to > >[Hal thinks early 80s New Wave sucked ass] No!
