Korke" Subject: sycophant I dream of Lisa I thought I was going to have something constructive and cool to send to the list, then I woke up realizing it was a stupid dream. I'll share the dream anyway, you can delete if you don't want to read it (this could get long). It seems Lisa was staying at my sister's house, hanging out and playing music with my nephews (ages 13 & 15). But in this dream, my sister's house was the large storage house on my parents' property, and I was living with my parents still (I actually own a home). Well, my nephew calls, and says that Lisa thinks it's too hot to play at their place (it's true, that storage house has no ac). So they want to come over and jam. I say that's cool, come on over. When they arrive, Lisa says she can't stay and play if there's too much noise in the house. I tell her that won't be a problem. Then she says she doesn't want to get any hassle about having a lesbian lover (!!) I reply that as long as she isn't making out in front of my parents, it'll be cool. Also Lisa had frizzy hair - it didn't look too good. So Lisa, my Nephews, my brother, Bob, and I go upstairs. She says she's been asked to come up with a new Addams Family Theme for a new version of the tv show, and asks if we want to help. We say sure and start working on it. I wish I could remember what we came up with. All i can remember is arguing whether she should stay true to the original and only use piano, or use other instruments. She says she'll think about it, so I go downstairs to get my Dad's old Gibson guitar from the 60's (he actually does have one, in near perfect condition). My Dad sees me carrying it, and asks "what the hell are you doing?" He says I can't use it, in fact stop carrying it. I start to argue with him, and I then I start crying. Maybe I shouldn't be sharing this part. Then Lisa comes downstairs to complain, saying she thought it would be quiet. While I try to explain, her lesbian lover walks in the door, and everybody shuts up and looks. Then I woke up. How's that for a cliffhanger? Feel free to analyze or mention your own dreams. I'll go back to the asylum. At least Mellencamp wasn't in my dream.

Like, I knew who she WAS and I'd heard OF her, but all I'd ever heard was maybe one or two songs off of _Geek the Girl_. Oh, and when _Moon Palace_ came out I saw the video for "Riding My Bike" and loved it, but I forgot about it until I rediscovered her a few months ago. ANyway, so this dream I had: Some of my friends were going to some outdoor music festival that Lisa Germano was playing at. they asked me if I wanted to go, and i said, "Yeah, I LOVE Lisa Germano! SHe's one of my favorites." Then the dream sort of shifted and I was at some amphitheater (it looked kind of like the Greek Theater, but facing a different direction) looking for my friends and waiting for Lisa to come on. Anyway, the dream was so vivid I was inspired to hunt down _Excerpts from a Love Circus_ to see if I liked it. I did, and things just sort of built from there. Geez, re-reading this I must come off sounding way more like a wacko than I actually am. I'm not a hippie, I swear! --Matt J - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Jul 1998 19:29:38 -0700 (PDT) From: Matt J Subject: Re: sycophant Re: scalpers and such On Fri, 24 Jul 1998 Venmlegion@aol.com wrote: > Speaking of Tori Amos she is a REAL whiny bitch!

On the other hand, she's been acting more and more and more mentally unhinged in her interviews. --Matt J - ------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with the message: unsubscribe sycophant ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Jul 1998 12:38:36 +1000 From: "Jason D.

Great arrangements with unusual sounds which at first sounds simple, but one later realizes that it is not that simple.
