hallo all on the converting friends to b+s thing: i tried to get one of my friends to listen to b+s, and after like a month of badgering, he finally agreed to. so, i brought the album over to his place [it was boy with the arab strap btw] and threw it on the record player for him... after like 5 minutes at most, he proclaims that it was "tree hugger music" and that i should go "hug some trees with the other hippies at some protest". incenced, i had to prove to him that i wasn't a hippie, or indeed a non-violent protestor, by beating him about the head furiously with the album cover. ok, so that last part wasn't true, but rest assured i gave him the frowning of a lifetime. of course he is a jazz purist [tm], so to him, if not miles davis, then utter crap. i of course, am the exact opposite :] if any of you have read the commitments by roddy doyle, you may remember a rant that joey the lips spews about jazz and a memeber of the band named dean, saying it corrupts people's soul, etc.; and at the end he blames miles davis... the funny thing is, the passage in the book perfectly describes my friend and his "corruption"; the kinda freaky thing is, both the character in the book and the friend in question are named dean... i'm sure there's an oliver stone conspiricy in here somewhere. well, either that or a scooby doo mystery, i'm not sure. latah/john "i can be settled down/and be doing just fine/ 'till i hear that old train/coming down the line." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
