Lounge & t-shirts I have a question about a song title that's been bothering me for a while now... there's a song that isn't up on the lyrics site yet ( but will be soon ) that has an odd title. I've seen it referred to as "Bubb'a Sulky Lounge" and "Bubba's Silky Lounge". Anybody know the real title ? I think I remember someone posting a LONG time ago and saying that it's a real place. I don't think I've ever even heard the song, so I don't have an opinion ( although thanks to Jen I'll be haring it soon... woo hoo !). There's a new song up on the lyrics page, as well. It's called "Off You Go". Also, with the talk about a new Patty shirt- I have an old Patty shirt. I only saw Patty shirts at one concert, so I don't know if anyone else has seen it- it's white with the back cover of LWG on the front of it ( I think ). I actually bought it because it was the last one they had and they gave me a discount, although it's a size small or medium or something and would never fit me :). It's balled up on the floor in the corner of my room. Rachel :D( from work ) == _-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_ Rachel D.

I came across it while going through search engines. Jam! Rating= 4 CDs Make room for Patty Griffin By MIKE ROSS -- Express Writer  She was a highlight of the otherwise soft Lilith Fair CDs, and now Maine's Patty Griffin steps away from the folky sensitive-singer-songwriter mould with a second album rich in diverse textures and a powerful, evocative voice that falls somewhere between Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow.    That it's all over the map - from ambient techno to spooky lounge jazz to hard-rocking Pretenders-style - could be seen as a flaw, but the songwriting is solid on all levels.   Hey Sarah, save some room on the main stage for the redhead. == _-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_ Rachel D.

WBOS uses "OBL" as part of their radio ads...playing clips of patty and several other songs to showcase the music they play.... Also - someone asked about whether or not a Patty video was forthcoming...did we hear one way or the other? I was watching the "Behind the Music" special on Bonnie Raitt and I was struch again by how much Patty resembles a younger Bonnie.... I have a question - Has anyone been to Falcon Ridge folk festival before? If so, have you camped on the site? We're going next weekend, but I'm not sure what to expect (i've never been to more than a one day festival) Thanks! I'd appreciate any insight, experiences, etc.... - - Laurel NP: Karen Savoca, "Sunday in Nandua" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 16:33:31 -0700 From: Elaine Bean Subject: MM: High School/Tony Someone wrote: > >"I hated every day of high school."

I'm the one who wrote "...but on the whole, it wasn't all *that* bad... I hated some of >it, but I also liked quite a bit of it". I attended a public high school... I wouldn't expect to see any real correlation between who hated high school and what type of school it was, although maybe I'll be surprised.

Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 16:51:29 -0400 From: "Perlman, Judith" Subject: MM: High school I was the one who first posted the question, so I guess I should answer. I went to a private school, sort of exclusive and VERY VERY rigorous. 10 subjects each semester, from 8:15 to 5 or 5:45. I enjoyed some of the subjects, others I didn't. I excelled academically, but I really HATED high school, because of the atmosphere; I felt like I was in prison. It was a religious school, but in my opinion people there were hypocrites, because they observed the letter of the law, but were actually malicious, viciously competitive, gossipy, and stab-in-the-back types. There are other reasons too. When I went to college, I felt FREE for the first time. Even though it too was very rigorous academically it was actually easier than high school - only 4 courses at a time, a breeze. I just thought that everyone sensitive hated high school. Anyway, everyone I know who is sensitive hated it. Finally, I think Sunshiny is awfully perky. A cheerleader perhaps? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 17:26:35 EDT From: Adangerz@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: Re: High School/Tony <> I went to two years of public and two years of military high school, well actually it was a civilian ran school on a military base. I found the base school a lot better than the public schools as far as people went. I feel as if I got a good education (being as how, it is something I sought) from all the high schools I went to, even the one in a ghetto of Richmond California. That one was very rough, (knives, guns, hair on fire, etc.) but I had the greatest teachers and classes there too. (I went to 3 different highschools, the first one in Richmond CA, the second in Jacksonville NC, and the third at Camp LeJuene NC. LeJuene was my favorite, and I would consider more like a private school than public.) Anyway, hope that contributes to your question.

He was a pretty agro sort of guy and there were a few teachers and students who tried getting back at him via me. Consequently, I loathed the place and couldn't wait to leave. Yes, I hated every day of high school. However, my three younger sisters attended the same high school a few years after I'd left and to hear them talk of their wonderful experiences, you'd think they had been to another planet. I don't think it's necessarily a private vs public thing as I have a number of "grammar school" people working for me. Their recollections of high school are as varied as my sisters and mine. regards, Iain Bokonon's Law: Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 19:31:06 -0400 (EDT) From: "Stephen V.

In University or College, most people are a little more mature and, since your area of study is more focused, you are generally surrounded with people who share some common interests. There is little room, it seems to me, for "odd balls" and "artsy types" in high school. After high school however, the jocks all go play college football and the artsy types go to art college :) Everyone's happy :) Me... I was (am) an artsy type. I didn't like high school all that much. I didn't *hate* it, but it wasn't my favorite thing.
