When I have seen her play, she hasn't given credit to him for these songs, which I was kind of annoyed about, especially because "Vincent Black Lightning" usually gets a big reaction.

I just went to Ticketmaster and tried to buy tickets to Mary Lou's show in Philly on March 7, which I think is at the Pontiac Grill, and they said they didn't have anything listed. Can someone tell me how to buy tickets? I can call and pay with a credit card but I don't know where to call. thanks, Rachel - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- my Mary Lou Lord page is at http://pages.nyu.edu/~rkb200/ To join Some Jingle Jangle List, the Mary Lou Lord mailing list, email Majordomo@smoe.org with ONLY "subscribe jinglejangle" OR "subscribe jinglejangle-digest" in the BODY.

I just called the Pontiac Grill and they said that that tickets will be avable through ticketmaster, but the show wasn't listed yet. Hopefully in the next few days they'll list it. We'll just have to keep trying till then. Unfortanely I don't have any Philly Ticketmester numbers, but over the weekend I'll get them, if they still havn't listed the show around in New York or New Jersey.

It seems to me that "Jingle Jangle Morning" is about Kurt Cobain, too.

Are those supposed to be the references he mentions in "Thong of Blowtown"? The "shoot out the lights" and the reference to "the jester"? I guess they are just meaningless references, then, as Richard Thompson and Bob Dylan didn't seem to fit into the Studio 54 scene. And what does the "tonight tonight the Billys will fight" line refer to? Lee ------------------------------ End of jinglejangle-digest V1 #18 *********************************
