In the immortal words of Mr Glitter, hello, hello, it's good to be back... This dream business is getting quite disturbing,,, On Tuesday night I dreamt that all bands, by law, had to include a B&S song in their sets every time they played live. Last night I dreamt that I met Richard the drummer. We shook hands and he told me I had the softest hands he had ever touched. What does it all mean? By the by, I think that Stewpot and co will be hard pushed to come up with a better title for the next record than "The Song Snake". It certainly has the right level of double entendre...

difficulty of successfully realizing "Under Milk Wood" lying in the need to create a "web of sound" with the voices, so that the rhythms and tones of the speech culminate in an overall effect that envelopes the audience <snip!> Somehow this *does* relate to the starting point of Dylan Thomas, but probably in a way that doesn't come across well here...oh well, I tried.

No, don't stop Greg! I was just getting into it! Here's to more practical criticism on the list! As long as it's not about Murray Lachlan Young. I don't suppose anybody out there wants to explain the Rabelasian subtexts of Gravity's Rainbow to me, do they? Mrs Tag said:

as the world turns...my poor Gargoyle (kitty) she is going crazy..Sausage is beating her up.....

As Eric Morecambe used to say, there's no answer to that is there? Megannewculteveryday wrote:

Genevieve, look what you've started! These kooky kidz are taking over the list! David's picnic sounds like a jolly good idea. In the meantime, for those of you in the London area, a few of us are meeting up at the Poetry Cafe on Betterton Street in Covent Garden on Friday after 7pm, if you fancy coming along. Even you, Northy! I'll try and get the twister board ready. Stevie Trousers xxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
