I don't think I have ever seen (and been squished up against) more people packed into a subway car. And I know I've never seen more cops. > tom mentioned: > Just saw a live report on CNN about the big rockfest against SARS > in TO. Glad to see those in attendance have some taste: Justin > Timberlake was pelted with water bottles. I didn't see that story Tom, but I'm so glad you posted the news to the list. Wish I'd have hit that Justin-kid with a bottle. He happens to be in town with that dirty-Christina-girl, otherwise I doubt any promoter would have thought of asking him to come to T.O. and "help us out." The way this concert is working is that most bands get from 15-30 minutes on stage, other than The Stones and AC/DC. Sidenote for Rush lovers; the band only plays for 1/2 hour. Nat, your first post is so well constructed, I'm still looking for mine but I imagine it was overly polite, though I never would have ended a note with "regards" Eb. :P I think the first feg I had the pleasure of meeting in person would be the *sharkboy.* ;-) Rex, Elliot Smith does appeal to this female, but through his lyrics rather than his looks. Speaking of Julia Roberts, Lyle Lovett is the ugliest man I've ever seen in person, yet he has the voice of an angel. And Robyn is beyond sexy, even if he thinks he looks like the devil. For the record, I never unsubbed from the list, I just took breaks from it while I was in the hospital, completely different. fading back into yesterday before tomorrow comes, Randi toronto, ontario, canada *what scares you most will set you free* ~ robyn hitchcock *you are not obligated to complete the work but neither are you free to abandon it* ~ tikum olam ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 16:53:55 -0700 (PDT) From: Groove Puppy Subject: RE: fegnatalia Jeme sed > Oh, and I think JBJ was the first feg I ever met > knowing I was meeting a feg.

I know it's the circles in which I've travelled, but it really is a common word these days. I'll sometimes say "vgrep" for "visual grep" meaning to scan something visually and grep to memory. For those just tuning in and without access to man pages, grep is a stand-alone utility that prints (to standard output) all of the lines (from standard input) that contain some (regular) expression. The name, by the way and as far as I know, comes from the command you'd type in some old version of ed (a text editor) or somesuch in order to do exactly that. You'd hit "g" for a global (i.e., the whole file) search then enter a Regular Expression and follow that with "p" to print. gREp. OK, enough o' that. And don't even ask about the story of ping.

I've never met a feg qua feg. That is, I've met several people on this list...but only because I met them through that *other* list that I've been on consistently since '93 or so.

His Sun record label also issued records by Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and his Pumping Piano, Billy Lee Riley and his Little Green Men, Junior Parker, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Rufus Thomas, Sonny Burgess, etc etc etc. See: (which oddly credits Billy Lee Riley as Billy Riley; I wonder if he was only known as BLR in the UK). I realise that there were a few earlier singles like "Rocket 88" which are claimed to be the original rock'n'roll record, but I think Sam Phillips was the man who really established rock'n'roll on a big scale. "I was just thirteen, you might say I was a musical proverbial knee-high When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes and they blasted me sky-high And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun record from Nashville And up North there ain't nobody buys them and I said, 'But I will' " - Nashville Cats, John Sebastian - - Mike Godwin n.p.

There are ladies that find Elliott (with two T's) attractive, but I never saw the appeal of acne scars and bad hygiene, myself. I guess it's that sensitive poet/heroin chic thing that seems to attract some people. I have seen pictures of him where he looks very good, but I attribute that to clever photography; having seen him in real life, I can say authoritatively that he does look like Eeyore. >of course there's the (probably apocryphal) story of an event in Germany >sponsored by a large milk company, where people were required to wear >t-shirts emblazoned with the company logo, which consisted largely of the >word "milch". >For some reason, many of the women objected.

The first fegs I met were LJ, the Great Quail, and Chris Gross. The first feg who met me, not knowing I was a feg, was Michael Keefe. This was when I strolled into his store on my first visit to Portland, asked a few questions about JfS, and then, after about 10 minutes of this, I laid a tinfoil Thoth upon his cash register. The look on his face was priceless. >Oh, and Stewart just told me that Brian Dewan did the narration on the >second Music Tapes record. I guess I have to buy that now. There's some >musical content. There's musical content on a Music Tapes record?? >Ebbish follie This one was mine.

Jeme: >>Oh, and I think JBJ was the first feg I ever met knowing I was meeting >>a feg. Blatzman I knew before I knew he was a feg, and also before I was on the list. To the best of my knowledge, I was not to meet another feglister until the Soft Boys show last year. Had a plane ticket once for a rendezvous once... didn't end up using it. I think the first feg artifact I ever done received was a copy of The Go-Betweens' "Tallulah" sent to me by James back when it was only in print antipodally. I never thought of Eb V.1 as "goody goody", just slightly... more reserved? Or even shy? I also recall feeling unusually young for the feglist in those early years (at age 25)... and maybe I still am, but not in a way that matters a damn anymore. Since everyone's been around forever, apparently. Regards, Rex ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V12 #293 ********************************
