One artist's thoughts on this topic....Awhile back, someone on the Ellis Paul
list commented about seeing the Pushstars play, and how she was sickened
later by watching the guys play up to all of the "groupie" girls hanging
around. Ellis' response....
>>>the difference between the Pushstars and me, is that they have to play
rock star off stage which can sometimes be all the things you say it looked
like-- but that is what they wanted and dreamed of being-- somtimes the image
thing gets in the way of the sincerity you want to witness in the art. But
they are really great guys, and the songs are real, and heartfelt-- and as
long as they keeo striiving for that they will be successful.
It is a weird existence being a a performer, so much of it is fantasy based,
both for the artist and for the audience. Do yourself a favor and approach
those guys next time, and be real, and create a bridge over the fantasy, and
they will meet you in a real way and abondon all the rock star stuff for at
least a moment... :)<<<

I picked this up from the Mad Mission (Patty Griffin) list, but it concerns
the Shindell-list as well, since we're both hosted at smoe.org:
_________________________________
I just want to alert all subscribers to this list about a problem with the
new AOL 6.0 and problems it causes with all of the mailing lists hosted by
smoe.org.
PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT a concern if you use AOL 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0. This is
only if you have AOL 6.0 or plan to upgrade to 6.0
To make a long story short, the new AOL 6.0 sends all email with "HTML
formatting" and does not have an option to send just plain text.
What happens then is all email sent from an AOL 6.0 account to a smoe.org
mailing list is bounced (rejected) by the listserve software and is then
forwarded onto the list owner for fixing/approval. The list owner then gets
the post and has to do some magic and then send the post on. This of course
will result in a delay for your post in reaching the list. (RG note: as well
as making Sally a crazy lady).
So, if you now have AOL 6.0 and send a post and are perplexed as to why it
did not show up yet or showed up hours later, you now know why.
This is causing problems on other list serves across the planet, and AOL has
been made aware of the problem.
In the mean time, the owners of smoe.org are working on a solution with some
software they can install that would automatically fix the offending AOL
email and send it on without it bouncing.
In the mean time, if you are active on this list and have been considering
upgrading to version 6.0 of AOL, you might want to hold off a while until
this problem is rectified.

Thanks for telling me, ....just a couple of hours AFTER I "upgraded"
to AOL 6. From all of the messages I've read about it on the help boards, it
seems to be a pretty big problem, so hopefully they'll fix it soon. I'm
trying my own little fix....let's see if it works.
