I'm going to (and taping) the Lafayette show, and I even know of another guy who's taping (though minidisc - I'm using DAT). And, I can halfway corroborate the RH-Indiana connection. Robyn played at Jake's in Bloomington on the Eye tour, and I was at the show. Even found a taper acquaintance recently who *might* have an analog copy of that show, which was wonderful. (Robyn commented on my French-import vinyl copy of Underwater Moonlight, when I brandished it for signature, "That's hard to find!") The opener at that Jake's show was The Jody Grind, the lead songer of which is Kelly Hogan, who's opening the Lafayette show. The Jody Grind were fantastic, but sadly a couple members of the band died in a car crash within the couple years after that show. Ratboy in Terre Haute, huh? This guy's real last name wouldn't be Rattner, would it? Tall loud Clash-fanatic? Frequented the midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Indiana? I went to college in TH (at RHIT, not ISU),and saw a lot of shows in Bloomington (to get back to the main thread), and don't know if Robyn also played Indy on that tour (which happened actually during my first year of grad-school at UIUC, late '90 or early '91, so I had to make a three-hour drive instead of a one-hour one). I'm going to be hanging out with a friend who lives in Lafayette earlier that day, & he and his wife (who's also coming along, though not particularly a RH fan) and I will be having some sort of ethnic dinner beforehand, but I still hope to show up early enough to get a seat near the PA (dunno if the seating is assigned, though when I saw Neil Innes there a couple months ago, it wasn't). da9ve ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2005 23:36:06 -0600 From: steve Subject: Re: near reap >> Also, Terri what's-her-name.

To furthter confuse things: * I see that Eddie gave up on THE SIMPSONS at about the same time that I did -- beginning with the Season 10 finale (Simpsons on the Japanese game show), it started mixing in things that I found to be cruelty and grossness simply for cruelty and grossness' sake, often in ways that violate the characters. In fact, ever sine then it's been the case to such a degree that I can't stomach the good jokes and gags (there are so many that *some* of them will always hit) without gagging over the parts I find objectionable, so I don't watch it anymore. * I *loathe* FAMILY GUY beyond any TV show I have ever seen, for all the reasons Rex has given here and elsewhere. I mean, first THE SIMPSONS was going to end civilization, then BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD was supposed to be "worse" than THE SIMPSONS, then SOUTH PARK was "even worse" than those combined, but I loved each of those series (SP is more hit-and-miss than the others, but when it's good it's off-the-charts good). But I finally reached my grown-up cartoon fogeydom with FAMILY GUY. It's just creepy and vile. * I loved FUTURAMA - well, never in the way that I've flipped over my very favorites, including THE SIMPSONS at its peak, but it was always funny and always worth watching. > > > it's pretty good. when i was checking it out from the library, the > librarian (a woman in her mid-40s, i guess) said that she hadn't liked a > record this much since the clash were in their heyday (or words to that > effect).

The Stephen Wright comparisons are the most on target, though there was something even more endearing to me about Mitch -- I think because whereas Wright always gave off the Northeastern grad school dropout vibe, Mitch seemed more like guys I went to school with who were absolutely freakin' brilliant and were funnier than hell, but had no interest at all in school, college, or much of anything except pot.

Robyn was clearly very tired and looked a bit unkempt coming to the stage. Didn't even fuss over folks taking pictures with flash. Shirt: gold tropical number with red blotches and dark green palm trees. Blinking not very evident, but his hair was constantly falling over the face. As the venue was warm and smoky, every time he'd rub his hands through his hair it would stand up in funny directions all over the place.which in turn necessitated the return of the 'hair flip.' The beginning and end of the show was tight, but the middle part - from the Bowie cover through about Sally - was a bit ragged. Technically I wouldn't rate it anywhere near the better Robyn performances I've seen, but the setlist made up for much of that; I'd not seen Trams or Aquarium before, which were definite highlights. Tarantula, Satellite and Freeze were also very good. His closing medley wandering through the audience had a lot more spunk this time around, and was quite enjoyed by those who stayed around until midnight; the show started out sold-out, but not everybody made it to the end. Afterwards Robyn spent ages signing everything he was handed, and as he signed my ticket I got a chance to ask him about the "butterfly on my face" lyric from "...Guildford." Remember the minor debate about that? When we actually talked about lyrics around here? Anyway, I questioned whether it was "Lepidopterally speaking, like pulling out flat of butterflies pinned down in a drawer" with numbers and such, or (as I had guessed) it was laying on your back in the grass while a butterfly flits onto your face and you realize you're a phone number in somebody's drawer. He clearly identified it to be the former, with the comment that he was trying to get across the feeling of being a 'specimen' (his word). So there. At least THAT'S off my mind now.

As far as Johnnie Cochran goes regarding getting OJ off, I tend to blame the prosecutors, Marsha Clark and Oliver Darden. A sloppy and incomplete prosecution by Clark and Darden, maybe more so than Cochran doing such a great job in defending OJ, was a key factor in the outcome.
