Johnson" Subject: [RS] D'oh! Hallo! (I'm learning German; Ich lerne Deutsch) OK, that other e-mail I "sent" doesn't even make any sense. I'd started writing a post, and thought I had cancelled it, but apparently, I sent it to over a hundred people instead. Good thing I'd already edited out all of the profanity and vague threats, eh, guys? Anyway, since it seems now as though I am committed to posting _something_, let me elaborate on that earlier non-post by saying, "Wow, That hadn't even occurred to me, and you basically rock for catching that. CMW, as you know, is not an RS-penned tune, but the point is definitely worth making, in my own puny estimation." :-) As for Gene's earlier belligerent comments directed towards me, all I can do is to scream "Oh, yeah? Well 2:45 in the parking lot!" at the top of my lungs, as the bullies in middle school always used to do. It seems to fit my new mwahaha persona, and will hopefully convey the seriousness of this matter to the afore-mentioned troublemaker. hmmph. Auf wiedersehen!

WFUV had run a contest where listeners would submit a 'perfect segue' of two Dar songs. The prize was four tickets to the show, plus she would actually play your songs. While it was not the winner, Dar mentioned this entry - 'The Ballad of Mary Magdalene by Richard Shindell' (as she put it) followed by 'I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono.' The tie-in? Lennon's comments that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. Meanwhile, 900 miles off-topic, Fraulein Wills, the schoolyard bully, snapped: >>As for Gene's earlier belligerent comments directed towards me... << Belligerent? I'll see your hmmph, and raise you a harumph. Do you mean the comments from FIVE days ago? Apparently my comments have not cut you to the quick; they have cut you to the slow. I would throw down the gauntlet, but my good one is at the cleaners, and I need my everyday gauntlet for work on Monday. To paraphrase Michael Jackson: You think you're mwahaha? You ain't mwahaha.... Somehow, I blame Laura for all this. Gene F.

Richard's song tells the story from Mary M's point of view and Mary is the lesser known & often maligned character. Dar's song tells the story from Yoko's POV and Yoko is the lesser known and much-maligned character.
