And I thought it was only Kara and I getting all the laughs about Bill, who knew he's so famous to us all :) Even Jay had something to say about Bill..we were in Pittsbugh and we we're laughing so hard over the fact the Peter Stuart called Bill "Robert Plant", and the Atlantic City girlfriend song(by the way I'd give almost anything to have that on tape) and Jay said how he was listening to the cd of their Hard Rock Live show and all throughout it hears this god awful noise....alas, it's Bill screaming!!! We all agreed that the noise that comes out of his mouth is not human and we're rolling (*damn skippy baby*) anyways...Steve thank you for the laugh, you have made my day! In the Big House episode make sure Bill has his purse,eyeliner, and glitter! :) Take care everyone and have a great weekend...

Subject: (harbinger) Camille Paglia Bashes Paula For any of you out there who might still be misguided Camille Paglia acolytes, here are a few words she had to say about Paula back in '98 just after the Grammys that might make you reexamine your views on this self-described feminist lesbian. I lost track of this article for a while and meant to share it with you at the time. In my opinion, the self-loathing Paglia is as big a nutjob as Dr. Judy could ever hope to be. In any event, I just now found the thing again and thought it was better to share it with you late than never. You can find this ridiculous "Ask Camille" piece (and others) at: http://www.salon.com/col/pagl/1998/04/nc_14pagl.html Kenn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Camille: When I read about all the fuss over singer Paula Cole's armpit hair, my first thought was "What would Camille Paglia think about this?" Dear Ziad: More attention needs to be paid to the phobia about female body hair in the United States, compared to the more relaxed standards of continental Europe. When the women's movement reawoke in the late 1960s, many militant feminists vowed never to shave their underarms or legs again, as a rebellion against sexist male aesthetic standards, which allegedly reduced women to children. But within a decade, the fad had passed, and today it's only grungy, passive-aggressive college students, Rip van Winkle faculty Marxists or socially retarded granola lesbians who go hairy. I myself find excess female body hair completely unappealing, probably because my eye has been so trained by the sexual personae of canonical Western art, from beautiful Greek athletes (whose oiled skin in real life was stripped of hair and dust by the strigil) to voluptuous harem odalisques. Paula Cole has composed a wonderful, award-winning song ("Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?"), but her taste in clothing sucks. Flashing armpit hair at the Grammy Awards ceremony in February could and should have been a radical act, but Cole chose the pathetically wrong costume to go with it. She's too lanky and, yes, cowboyish for that silky, skimpy, cocktail dress, which does not -- repeat not -- go with body hair. What a nauseating spectacle Cole made of herself! -- at what should have been a peak moment for a woman singer-songwriter. Dr. Paglia, general buttinski and consultant to the stars (the fabulous, supersmart Ellen Barkin visited me in Philadelphia the day after the Oscars; eat your heart out!), would have recommended that Cole go more punk or at least French apache-dancer avant-garde, to give that ebony swatch of sprouting armpit hair a piquantly coherent fashion context. - ------------------------------ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe harbinger Btw, if you are an AOL subscriber the above instruction will work for your EVERY time.
