Thanks. This is a very unusual move; we have no furniture, and most of our personal effects don't arrive until next Wednesday. We bought basic living equipment in Mountain Equipment (Canadians will be sniggering now) and camped out on the basement floor. Tonight, we hit Ikea to get something to eat, sleep and sit on.

To paraphrase Mr. Key, "the flags are still there." In fact, I think some people got theirs back out today becasue of the pledge case. The only benefit I've seen from all the flag-flying frenzy is that, at least locally, most of the confederate flags, bumper stickers, whatnot, have disappeared (except from the cars of Alabama fans--ulp). I'm sure they will reappear once the current frenzy is over. On the other hand, they may not reappear until the coming frenzy-- "One nation under God" flags and bumper stickers"-- is over.

What I heard Saturday night was a talented but otherwise ordinary southern-rock jam band. They didn't suck, but I sure as hell wasn't hearing "future legend" or "amazing talent." Maybe they sound better on record. I somehow missed the previous digest so I am responding late to this: >>But even I must ask myself how many bands with guys that sound >>just like Neil Young I can fully embrace...

Then I thought, High wavery voice... well, I can see that. But his music doesn't sound anything like Neil Young. Same with Mercury Rev. (Is their latest album good?

I guess that's a relic of the town's hippie past. The only time I ever recited the Pledge was when I spent a year in La Jolla, CA. I was six at the time, and I had no idea what the words meant - I just mouthed them along with everyone else. It certainly didn't make me a better American. >Absolutely.

I don't know if my mom was pulled from the play or not. My mom also talked about how they always sang Christian songs in school. She would have been going to school right around the time the "under God" thing was introduced - she was twelve then - so I'm sure this was all interconnected. n. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 10:01:26 -0700 From: "Rex.Broome" Subject: Kwanzik Youth From Jeffrey: >>I'm not sure, but I don't think Kwanzaa is religious per se (what religion does it celebrate?).

Still an amazing live band. "Evol", "Sister", and "Daydream Nation" are a lot to live up to, but, although they sometimes have less-than-inspired passaged, all of their subsequent records are worth having, and some are really great. Your best bet when a new SY record comes out is: don't buy the album until you see the tour. Trust me on this one. Very sad about Entwistle. Enjoyed the Pledge debate.

I read where Townshend wasn't too keen on touring until the last one he did, which was motivated by his wish to help friends with their "personal and financial situations". Pete can continue to support himself with royalties that the others don't share. Could he be carrying on for Roger's sake?

I haven't heard anything more than that and, frankly, while I love the Who's music and think PT is both a "great" guitarist and "important" songwriter/composer, and I would have loved to go see them play, even at the tail end of their career (which can be a depressing experience in the best of times, let alone when there is the cloud of death hanging over events), I'm staying as far away from this news as I can get for a bit, for I expect and fear that I will hear this: "John would've wanted us to go on. We're dedicating this tour [and its enormous profits] to his memory, and, each night, when a different guest star sits in with us to play "Boris," each one of those terrific guest singers -- from Ozzy on down to Justin Timberlake -- will personally channel John's raging spirit, in a group seance that will transform an otherwise run of the mill rock 'n' roll show into a traveling evocation of John's powerful spiritual presence, while John lives on through the loving memories of him shared by the 50,000 reveler-mourners in attendance each night.
