I go to college in Massachusetts and when I say I am from Connecticut I get the "you must have lots of money" prejudice. With that said, I would like to hear a performer make fun of it cause lots of people there are so rich that they don't live in relaity at all. Anyone into Richard Shindell obviously would be an exception. I saw Greg Brown in Fairfield County once. He has a song called "Fairfield" about a small county in Iowa taken over by yuppies. ("Fairfield used to be a shithole but look at it now.") He said it could be applied to parts of the county and that joke seemed to go over fairtly well. - -Adam - --- VMacmullan@aol.com wrote: > I went to the show last night at the Seabury Center > in Westport.
