Als Ihrer weiblichen grossen Blendenvffnung so sie durch einen LKW antreiben kvnnte, Andy "No one asked me my advice on the [Rock and Roll] Hall of Fame, either. I'd make it one room. Have a dummy made up to look like a skinny, acne-scarred kid sitting in a bedroom. There's a window in the bedroom, and it looks out on a street, where five attractive girls, the kind who would never look twice at a loser like that, are practicing cheerleader moves on a summer's afternoon. The only thing of note in the kid's room? An AM radio and a beat-up pawnstore acoustic guitar. That's rock'n'roll, John, straight down to the heart: loneliness and the search for pussy. Eat my dick, Jann Wenner." - --Bill Repsher, in e-mail response to a John Strausbaugh article in the New York Press on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; printed, along with other Repsher musings, in Strausbaugh's recently-published ROCK 'TIL YOU DROP: THE DECLINE FROM REBELLION TO NOSTALGIA. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2001 17:05:31 EDT From: Vivebonpop@aol.com Subject: [loud-fans] I've been Elvis Costelloed and Art Garfunkeled In order to take advantage of a special Circuit City stores are currently running, (a $75 gift card if you sign up for a year of AOL service) I cancelled my other account, which was still in its free trial period, and am now more French, with "Vive," though I preferred the other spelling, but you can't take names from another account. I got the Simon and Garfunkel box with the mini LP sleeves, (selling for $39.99 there...not bad) and the Rhino versions of the Warner LPs "Spike" and "All This Useless Beauty" with the card, so it was worth the headaches. Being limited on funds and wanting these discs, I saw an opportunity, and went for it. You can't blame me. At least I didn't buy crap. M np "Sounds of Silence" lp p.s.

Next time, you can switch a few more letters around and become BeavisVonPop, the famous Bulgarian Baron.

I did a little creative financing. Since I got that other stuff, I sold my "Old Friends" box set, my old copies of "Spike," "All This Useless Beauty," and "My Aim is True," and turned around with the money and bought the new version of M A I T, and even had enough left over to buy dinner. Can't beat that, though I do realize I've sold my soul to AOL for a year in order to buy Rhino CDs, which are really Warner Bros. in disguise, so I hear Tennessee Ernie Ford singing, "I owe my soul to the company store." I can also do amazing things with ramen noodles. :O) Seriously guys, the new Elvis discs sound really good. Sell blood, get a lemonade stand, do what you have to to get them!
