Most of us complainers complain about both of you, because to single out one person as worse would only make that one extra-defensive and embolden the other one, thus prolonging the fight. And also because, well, you ARE both to blame. Both of you seem to think that if the other guy posts something objectionable, then it's time to start shooting again. This is a losing attitude for both you (and for the list), and you should get over it now before full-intensity warfare breaks out again. Know ye this: now nothing either of you says about the other will ever be taken seriously by anyone other than yourselves. Even if one of you does post something genuinely obnoxious, and really deserves to be criticized, the other one of you no longer has any ground to stand on to criticize him. The only way one of you can win is to start ignoring the other.

If the Colts win the Super Bowl, I hope for their coach Tony Dungy's sake that he stays away from taking a job as the Detroit Lions head coach. The last time the Colts won the Super Bowl in 1971 while still in Baltimore, their winning head coach took a job with the Lions two years later and he died of a heart attack before even finishing the 1973 season. The Lions are such a cursed team that they even turn SB winners into dead men. One playoff win since 1957 is quiet the record the Lions have going for them. They traded away Hall Of Fame quarterback Bobby Lane in 1958 and have been cursed ever since. Not as cursed at the Cubs in MLB, but the Lions are certainly at the head of the NFL when it comes to cursed teams. We hit this topic a few years ago sans the Colts angle. Michael B.

Too bad the Half Note couldn't have survived like the Village Vanguard has managed to all these years. Have any NYC area fegs ever been to the Village Vanguard for a jazz concert?

The performance was taped last Fall, but Billy recorded two songs that evening, and tonight is scheduled to perform "Tank Park Salute," which has never aired before. There's a special significance to the timing: Billy wrote this song for his father, and today is the anniversary of the passing of Craig Ferguson's own father. Craig specifically asked Billy to play this song for him on this day. Those who were present at the taping said it was an especially powerful performance.

The Cardinals haven't won a championship since 1947, and also have only won a single playoff game since (in 1998). So the Cardinals have the distinction of wretchedness by 10 years (and two cities).

Because you've ceased to be rational, and nothing > matters but your childish rage anymore. List be damned. That's your take on the matter, since you view the list as an extension of your stunted ego. We've seen over and over again as you've retreated to posting your running logs and preening about when you first posted about a newly-popular band, protesting that Nuppy picked up on them not upon your Holy Endorsement, but that of someone more pleasant than yourself. You do not "enrich the list's culture" with your egomania, Eb. People dislike you quite intensely indeed. My inbox brimmeth over with offlist attempts to figure out why you're so damaged and in what way, to the point where your droning on about my hysterically hysterical hystericality has become ironically entertaining. To me, at least, and Eddie and Blatzman, I guess. Nobody else really digs it. > I fail to understand how "The Arcade Fire vocal affectation to me > traces to Bowie, Byrne, MacCulloch, Robert Smith, that type of thing" > presents a contrasting viewpoint to "Thom Yorke is not the big > influence here." Because I don't think the guy from CYHSY (who sounds like Yorke to me) sounds like the guy from Arcade Fire (who sounds like Bowie, Byrne, MacCulloch, Robert Smith, that type of thing to me). Duh. But as I have dared to state, it's just how I hear it. And if I'm out to bash you by disagreeing with you about bands, why did I start off agreeing with you about CYHSY to begin with? Maybe I just have opinions. There's an idea. What I called you out on was your obnoxious ego-stroking post; that was directed at you, but none of my comments about artists are "bait". Wait, does this train of thought on your part indicate that you actually thought you were attempting to *troll me* by dismissing Neil Young records or saying that Kristin Hersh's voice is shot? 'Cause if so... that's really almost unspeakably sad. - -Rex ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #27 *******************************
