The last time I checked, this was an open forum, where everyone is allowed to speak their mind. If you do not agree, by all means speak up, but what is the point of lashing out with bitterness and sarcasm? I'm sure the author of the post you objected to would respond much more favorably to a polite suggestion. And by the way, you misspelled the words treatise and diplomacy.

Derek ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 13:30:40 EDT From: ReallyHip@aol.com Subject: Small Liz Mention in E Online Article There are 3 Portions to this email: 1) My First Liz Song 2) Liz mention in E Online 3) My Top Ten Liz songs 1) My first Liz song was "Supernova". It was turned on at a party that I was at, and everyone was dancing to it... I remembered it because I enjoyed the lyrics, yet realized that it was very awkward and borderline ugly as a dance track. : ) Then I stumbled upon the Juvenilia CD, buying it for a twofold purpose (I longed for a cover of "turning japanese", and I thought that Liz Phair was the coolest name in the history of Rock & Roll). I shelved that CD for awhile, noting a first-listen disappointment. One day in 1997 I rediscovered the simple beauty of "easy" and "batmobile", and was hooked. I promptly ran out and bought EIG and WS. The release of WCSE further floored me. I still have to say, though... "easy" is easily my favorite Liz song. 2) It's a review of Tori Amos' new disc, "Strange Little Girls". Although I don't agree with the pretentious part of the article, it does include a Liz mention. I picked up this Tori album, and it's definitely worth a listen, if only for "97 Bonnie & Clyde". Tori Amos bakes a dozen alpha-male-penned tunes with some sugar, spice and stuff that's not so nice. These revisionist versions of tunes as varied as Slayer's "Raining Blood," "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc and Eminem's wife-butchering ballad " '97 Bonnie & Clyde" are dark, layered, deliberate, piano-laden, thought-provoking and entirely Tori. And they prove how much a lyric's meaning can shift when tone, tempo or orchestration are even slightly altered, as she adds a lullaby quality to the Boomtown Rats' pop classic "I Don't Like Mondays" and makes Joe Jackson's "Real Men" her own. But by not lyrically responding to the originals--like Liz Phair did for Exile in Guyville, for instance--Tori stops short of high concept and more than once slips from being revolutionary to simply pretentious. > - -Michael "Light in the absence of eyes illuminates nothing" - Trevor Goodchild 3) Top Ten Liz: 1-Easy 2-Perfect World 3-Stratford-On-Guy 4-6'1'' 5-Batmobile 6-Nashville 7-Go West 8-Headache 9-Canary 10-Bars of the Bed ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 12:39:24 -0700 (PDT) From: robert joyner Subject: list topics I have no problem with off topic discussions on the list. However, the minute you start discussing political or religious topics on this list it is gonna go to shit. Why? Because no matter how vociferous the argument, nobody changes their minds. Whatever my views are about the terror situation you won't see them on this list for this exact reason. My feelings are my own and I don't feel the need to proselytize them to the list. Now excuse me, I'm off to do a roundtable discussion with my Superfriends. Batman, Green Lantern, Aqua-man, and Wonder Woman make for some exhilarating political discourse. Superman can sometimes be overbearing, though, kinda like John McLaughlin. later Robert ------------------------------ End of support-system-digest V4 #244 ************************************
