I found unplugged showings for these artists instead: Jewel - June 24th @ 9pm, the Wallflowers - July 1st @ 9pm, Erykah Badu - July 8th @ 9pm, Blackstreet - July 15th @ 9pm, Maxwell - July 22th @ 9pm, Fiona Apple - July 29th @ 9pm. This is an awesome lineup (it's be more awesome if I had cable). I do not believe that they will be replaying Tori's unplugged show (which aired about a year ago) anytime soon... Now for the IGG fiasco : From: Celeste Subject: IGG -from the tori update >>Most flames do more to reveal the mental and emotional inadequacies of the flamer >>than anything else. Unfortunately, innocent people are often taken in by the rants of >>flamers. Yeah, I'm *real* inadequate mentally and emotionally. I have nothing better to do than to flame a "business establishment" (*which is not a business in the usual sense that they bring GOOD MUSIC to GOOD PEOPLE*) that is rude to it's customers and have morons running their customer account databases. Will someone please forward my flame to IGG to get a "free Tori gift"? No, I'm not bitter >:) Mickey Sun CIS & Math || University of California, Santa Cruz email: micksun@cats.ucsc.edu || web: http://www2.ucsc.edu/~micksun/ ---- From: dilbert@metro.net To: precious-things@smoe.org Date: Saturday, June 21, 1997 5:36 PM Subject: Tori Unplugged >When will this be airing?
