Sinister: Re: LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT

[G R Thomas]

OK kids,
	First of all, I'm really sorry if my message came across as a 
bit shouty or angry or nasty or whatever. This was never the intention 
and I'm sorry.

Charlotte: you should have put that private mail on the list. Reading 
it put me right in my place: Everyone-yeah, I feel very humbled, as 
Charlotte pointed out that I did get the spelling wrong: bourgeoisie, 
not bourgoisie. Sorry.

David, Italian, eh? I dunno. I thought it was French. Itdun'tmatter.

Katrina, you're absolutely right about the textbook definition of 
something not necessarily applying to an artist/musician or whatever, 
and I do believe you when you said what Stuart said. Obviously you know 
more than I do, and Stuart can say and mean what he wants. If there has 
been a mistake anywhere along the line, I don't know where it has come, 
but perhaps there is a popular misconception (and please believe me 
when I say that this is not a criticism of anyone) in the 
'right'/'proper' meaning of the term. Maybe, perhaps, erm I'm trying 
not to be nasty, er, erm...

Anyway, whatever 'Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie' actually means:
a) we can draw our own conclusions from the song (and I also reckon 
that *all* the definitions and stories that have appeared on the list 
are going some way to getting to an explanation)
and b) I love Belle and Sebastian, and so by the looks of things do 
quite a number of other people. Respect to each and everyone on this 
marvellous list.

Again, I'm sorry (it was a rush of blood or summut)


Love,


GIDEONxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
