what a toss subject line! i miss john lennon a lot; maybe the last great whimsiest of the century. can't think of another to match his worldplay that actually made sense...after a while. when you really thought about it. (of course, that's what all good surrealists do anyways.) ok. why not embarrass m'self for 15 mins, i says! (egad! it's long john sliver!) just a note in passing to thank the list for the ultimate lexical weirdness that's come in over the transom for the past 6 or 9 months of my observation. i joined just in time to find out that there would be no tour or new product until at least the new year. then the fun began. reminds me a lot of dr. suess' "the cat in the hat" story of what went on when mother was out. none of us has any idea of what to talk about or do with each other while waiting for the next thing that has brought us all together. and that meant some amazing improv on the subjects of random existence, growing up, going on, and all that rodgers & hammerstein biz about "getting to know you..." it's been kinda like going to a party where you've not been invited so much as included. and since you don't really know anyone, you just hang round the clique and listen, not so much as non-participating as digging the rhythm, the speech patterns, the hors d'ouvres, and eventually (shades of Jona Lewie!) find yourself in the kitchen where all the bitchen gossip is cookin'. so keep up the good leisure! and let's make 2001 a truly spaced odyssey! carle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
