That sure as hell doesn't stop him & Lloyd from spending a lot of time tuning during gigs, to this day. Some people get truly irritated while that's going on. I could care less. I've seen Robyn tune "silently" (presumably with electronic aid) and amplified (any acoustic show and with the Soft Boys)... maybe it feels more natural to tune out loud with the rough & tumble SB's as opposed the the shinier Egyptians? For sure when I've seen him with the Egyptians he's changed guitars for "sound" reasons... from acoustic to his signature Fenders to Rickenbackers for the 12-string songs.

Well, there are divorces, breakups, and ideological splits. And the splits that gymnasts and cheerleaders do.

A "mango split" would also be a compound noun if someone made such a freakish thing. Though I would give partial credit for "adjective+noun" -- "noun+adjective" might've been where it started but it's not where it is now. http://ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/compounds.htm 2. The effect of segregation (of the sexes or of the races) is, at best, to push social problems from the present into the future. It reinforces the idea that the two groups do not and cannot mix successfully (and are not mixed to begin with). It also reinforces the idea that there are only two groups, and reduces itself to absurdity once this myth is dispelled. 3. Even just skimming the argument Gene and Ed are having makes me sick to my stomach. At least half of that surely belongs in private email at this point.

still, there could be a list of possibilities from which people could choose. campaign finance reform is a toothless beast. without regulating the media with monetary fines for improprieties, there will be little effect. if full page ads and endless mudslinging commercials can still be purchased, what good is it to declare a limit on donations? we have a system of checks and balances so that no one can railroad the whole country off of the tracks; yet what we see now is that the republicans now have control of all three branches of government. this is not good in a pluralistic society, ie democracy. the problem lies in our flawed, winner-take-all electoral system. winner take all. who came up with that one? or is it so ingrained in our instinctual core that we don't dare question it? darwinism begets social darwinism and the idea of right and wrong gets tossed out of the window because we just can't help ourselves. we're made that way and that's all there is to it. greed works...but only so far. everybody wants some... and then everybody wants more. more for me if i take some from you. it works on a basic level; but there's no thought for the future. if you stockpile then you have to protect your stake. what if you fall asleep? you have to trust somebody sometime. why does there have to be a loser? there are ways to share. we can replace those win-lose scenarios with win-win solutions. the idea of compare and compete comes from our animal nature. it is tied in with the very struggle of life; but there is a point where we realize that we don't need it to survive anymore. working together for the benefit of all may sound like a utopian fantasy; but all it takes is a slight alteration of mindset. we could start with the way we teach our children. we drain the joy out of discovery with strictness and rote. we teach fear by encouraging competition. rather than take advantage of our natural healthy diversity to create well-rounded little folk; we promote a narrow agenda that leaves many behind. likewise, our political system perpetuates this fear on a national level. the result of campaigning and voting is one victor. occasionally, someone wins in a landslide; but most often we have about half supporting the elected candidate. doesn't this mean that the other half loses? we say that "the people have spoken"; yet there are voices that go unheard. why should that be? can't we do better? in this system, aren't we encouraging solutions that don't serve everybody? what good comes from locking people out of a say in the decisions that affect their lives? when decisions have an effect on an entire population, shouldn't they be for the benefit of everybody? how can we possibly do that when we are shutting out the voices of so many? if, as children, we were able to decide for ourselves what we would eat, when we would sleep, what we wanted to learn, and how things were done around us; that would create an entirely different type of person. if, rather than being told, we were the ones deciding; what might happen? we would learn in the way that we are inclined to learn. we would learn the consequences of our decisions more quickly as well. i guess what i'm trying to say is that we need to inact drastic changes. tommy jefferson suggested that the streets needed to be drenched in the blood of tyrants and patriots every twenty years or so for our system to work. it's like turning the soil to get ready for a new planting season. enter the green party. http://www.therealdifference.com/ it's true that the system is corrupt. just like every other system created and run by human beings. the fact is that we need more checks and balances. we need to find a way to give a voice back to the masses that become "losers" by voting for the wrong candidate and to the many that just don't care enough (they've already figured out that the system doesn't work for them) to vote. there are a couple of very simple ways that we could do this: 1. proportional representation (as explained by john cleese): http://play.rbn.com/?url=realguide/showbox/g2demand/wto/johncleese.rm&proto=rtsp 2. instant runoff voting http://www.fairvote.org/irv/ now this will not remove corruption; but it will at least make sure that all of the voices are heard. no matter who you vote for, you get the government. we're not going to fix everything and create a utopia; but we should at least try to crawl towards it. there is hope. hope is an act of the will. to live in the moment is to make it your own. if i choose to be happy then who's to tell me i'm not? in this respect overcoming adversity begins within. i think back to a time that i had let worry overcome me such that i could not get myself out from under my dark thoughts. my financial, romantic, and political situation seemed so bleak. as i sat in a cafe wallowing in my despair at this realization i saw a child playing and laughing and it made me smile at the idea of innocence. at that moment a warm feeling came over me. it all became clear that i could actively decide to be joyful. the fact is that there are plenty of things to be thankful for in every moment. every breath is filled with wonder. every disappointment is an opportunity to learn. we have great opportunity and freedom here. can it be that freedom from responsiblity is what so many people want, when it is in fact responsibility that is required to guarantee that freedom? we need to turn the tides of self interest and think about the future. we need a drastic change of perspective. we need to act out of love...not fear. this is spiritual evolution. ken "stop confusing religion and spirituality" the kenster np life squared mutabaruka ps saw a fantastic show last night. los angeles-based ozomatli combines high-energy latin rhythms with hip-hop, reggae, and funk. the packed house (and stage...there were ten band members) was a mass of motion like you hardly see from your typical jaded boston crowd. http://www.ozomatli.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 12:39:16 +1300 From: grutness@surf4nix.com (James Dignan) Subject: Re: fegmaniax-digest V11 #369 >Well, maybe there are some English compound nouns where the second half >acts adjectivally, not the first, but I can't think of them and am pretty >sure "banana split" doesn't break down that way.

For what it's worth, I decided years ago to start filing related artists together. Since I heard the Soft Boys before I heard Robyn solo, I file all Robyn solo and Robyn + Egyptians discs (and my 'Bible of Bop' 12") after The Soft Boys proper, since they can be considered Soft Boys-related. Likewise, I have all my Eno filed just after Roxy Music, and my John Cale just after Velvet Underground (but before Nico and Lou Reed).

"Governor General" isn't a compound noun, though; it's a phrase where a true adjective follows a noun, like "court martial" or, as Jeffrey pointed out, "guitarist extraordinaire".

A good list, there (which I've snipped), but kinda hard for someone who's not an aficianado already go get ahold of all the things named.

There's a possibly-not-mortal being named Thomas Nordegg (who tours with some pretty big names, but whom I've seen while he was on the road with Mike Keneally, who *should* be a big name but ain't yet). Thomas is MacGyver (sp?) squared. The man can fix an amp with a popsicle stick and a wad of hair, a wah pedal with a broken pencil and a dirty look. He *built* a patch cable so that one of the tapers could get a board patch at a Keneally show early last year.
