You're a better man than I. The Simarillion, for me as a whelp of 13, had the comparitive sedative powers of a six-pack or Nyquil. I can read Alan Bloom and even Melville in doses. I like to think of a church somewhere that reads from the Silmarillion with the cadence and fervor of a southern baptist preacher. Maybe the rythmn would keep you going. Dinosaurs(a) and the Slopes(b): (a) Take a look at Job 40 and 41. The begining of chapter 41 contains what I think is the closest thing to sarcasm that the Bible has to offer (try reading it to yourself in mocking Edward G. Robinson tones). The setting is 'The Lord Revealing His Omnipotence to Job.' Among the examples given of His Works are the Behemoth and the Leviathan. I don't think the descriptions of these two creatures fit anything that is alive today. There's a footnote for Behemoth that has the audacity to say "hippopotamus," and I'm as allowing for poetic license as the next guy, but here there's a parting of the ways, because hippos don't have a "tail like a cedar." (b) I think you can make a very good case for the Bible as the chronicle of one people, the Israel people. There is an account of the creation of da earf, but I think that is most appropriately interpreted as 'prophetic language,' which the OT is very much "full of." So-and-so has a dream, about the sun and stars and so forth: they are talking about kings and princes. Its very symbolic, and I don't believe it was SUPPOSED to be taken literally. If you regard the Eden story as the origins of one race, it is not unlike most other mythic origin stories. And that's how I regard most religous origin stories, oral or written: "This is OUR story. Your great(exponent) grandaddy was climbin' a tree one day..." REGARDING THE PLEDGE: Andy is dead-on. We need to have The Pledge, and we need to instill a sense of, if nothing else, GRATITUDE in our future valedictorians of the school of punk rock. Fucked up as it often is, this is still the country that most of the world wants to live in, and the reason for that is our Constitution has allowed us to be free and prosperous, and with that freedom and prosperity has come the most titilating pop culture on the planet. Eisenhower should have never signed that bill. It was a bad idea in the fifties that no one noticed. The Founders certainly wouldn't have had any of it. I think it is amazing restraint that as devoutly religous as the white hairs were, there are only two or three overt references to God in the majors writings of State. Jefferson said that the Consitution of US was created "for a godly/religous/Christian (I forget which, sorry) people, and is wholly unfit for any other." And yet it's STILL almost free of amenbrothers. In the eight grade I thought it was suprising and inconsistent that The Pledge of Allegience had the words "under God" in it. I still think it was an indulgence. The Pledge ought to be something (perhaps the only thing) that we ALL can agree on. I wish we could strike those two words. Alas, everyone is so fucking proud. Now we have NO pledge. Atheism is foolish, philosophically untenable position, and I take it for granted that most people who say they are atheists mean to say they are agnostic. It's one of the fundamentals of Western philosophy: you can't prove a negative. "I KNOW there is no purple sparkly orb with a thousand eyes somewhere in the Universe. I'm ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN of it." Now if you define "god" as a 'personified diety who takes an active interest in the doings of mankind, and makes itself known to all of them,' I'd say you could make a case for there being no "god." But there's still Fanta babies in South America. If people are stupid enough to feed your baby Fanta instead of breast milk, how the hell are you going to hold "god" accountable for them not knowing about him/her/it? - -Carl PS we're all going to BURN :) - ----- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2002 01:08:48 -0500 From: steve Subject: Re: Everybody loves Bill On Friday, June 28, 2002, at 03:45 PM, Mike Mojo wrote: > Found this cool WHO reminiscence/experience from Bill Nelson's diary > > http://www.billnelson.com/diary.htm And Bill went to see Sonic Youth as well, although not at the same show as Robyn.

The couple of times that I met him, he was exceedingly nice. Just a really pleasant person. In addition to missing him, I feel like it's finally the end of the Who, so it's kind of a double loss. I'm really partially dreading the rescheduled show (yeah, I'm going to go, whenever it happens)--I feel like maybe they should have just said it's all a done deal.

DANTON, Courant Rock Critic It had been more than five years since Rush played Hartford, but fans remembered every drum fill, every guitar lick and darn near every word to every song the band played Friday. The three-hour concert at the ctnow.com Meadows Music Centre was the first show Rush has performed anywhere since 1997, and the opening date of the trio's Vapor Trails tour. Befitting their triumphant return to the stage, the musicians changed things up a bit. Longtime staples of the band's set, like "Closer to the Heart," were missing Friday, and were replaced by some unexpected tunes both new and old - like the acoustic version of "Resist" from the "Test for Echoes" album. After a solo from drummer/god Neil Peart, guitarist Alex Lifeson and bass player/singer Geddy Lee sat on stools with acoustic guitars to play the world-weary song. Much of the show Friday was, if not world-weary, at least wistful. The musicians lingered over Rush's sensitive side with the poignant "Bravado," which followed the equally affecting tune "The Pass." The band seemed relaxed and almost giddy at times. While past Rush shows have had all the spontaneity of open heart surgery, Lifeson stretched out on guitar and Lee demonstrated his bass chops a few times with mini-solos, including one on "Driven." The stage set was typical of the musicians' tendency to not take themselves too seriously. On stage right were Lifeson's guitar amplifiers and Peart's drums were in the center. Stage left, however, were three coin-operated Maytag clothes dryers - which tumbled for most of the show. With a skillful balance of new and old songs, Rush reinvigorated the classics and demonstrated the live vitality of more recent material, from "One Little Victory" on the latest album to the band's first radio tune - and, poetically, the last song of the night - "Working Man." Welcome back, guys. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2002 09:28:27 -0700 From: glen uber Subject: Big Bottom Michael earnestly scribbled: >Boy, no offense but I'm not sure John ever held that position...certainly >not before '83 while James Jamerson was still around, or during the '80's >until Paco flipped out.
