Subject: [RS] Review in The New York Observer

There's a really great review of Richard at the Turning Point in The New
York Observer:

http://www.observer.com/pages/music.htm  (Scroll down 2/3 of the way)

My favourite lines:

'Mr. Shindell–who is amiable, handsome and edgy in a Kevin Spacey kind of
way...'

- -and-

'... "Confession," sung from the point of view of a tormented stockbroker
pleading for a prescription refill, which nails its era in a way few songs
have done since "Smells Like Teen Spirit."'

A very astute writer, methinks.

Subject: [RS] that Richard-guy again, or was his name Leonard?

hi guys,

so I'm at my parents, trying to "be on vacation", sitting in the living 
room, reading the paper with SNP playing in the background, Transit to 
be exact. Entrance: my dad. "did you put that on?" "Yes.." (expecting a 
"turn down the volume" to follow). "You put on Leonard Cohen? How nice!" 
Puzzled look on my face... "dad, that's Richard" ... "oh that guy". ... 

so here's my question: Does Richard sound like Leonard Cohen?????? 

dazed and confused,

Katrin

Hey you guys,

Six question marks, the true sign of puzzlement.

First, congratulations on having a father who knows who Leonard Cohen is. My father thinks REM is a word, not an acronym. That being said, I don't think Richard sounds like Leonard, to us. They are, I would think, close enough within their related genre (serious male folksinger, more or less) to confuse the casual observer. Look at it from the other side - if you didn't know which boy band was singing a particular song, could you tell for sure? 

The 'that guy' reference, however, is somewhat disheartening.

For those about to un-holster their flamethrowers, please do NOT assume any implication of comparison between Richard and, say, Lance from NSync. Lance is a MUCH better dancer. (I have a 14 year old daughter, so I'm permitted to know who Lance is.)

PS - Fruhead alert - CBS Sunday Morning is allegedly featuring a piece on Moxy Fruvous this Sunday, August 6. If it's anything like the 'house concert' piece, it will probably air sometime in November.

Subject: [RS] Richard the fisherman

OK, I now know who would be perfect for the INS agent in "Fishing".

Richard from "Survivor". This is the show where the contestants are on an
isolated island and they have to survive with not much much more than their
wits. Every three days, they vote someone off. There's also contests where
one can win immunity from a given vote.

Richard's the cocky, arrogant, schemer and head of the so-called "evil
alliance". He's also a fisherman and he's brings in alot of fish to these
semi starving people.

On tonight's show, he was shown catching fish and he was talking about the
parallels between fishing and leading the alliance ("picking the
contestants off one by one..." is what he said).

Norman
