>Wuxtry! Joker still alive! Wuxtry!" What does "wuxtry" mean
and/or what
when in doubt - go to google.com. i found the following page
http://www.wuxtry.com/wuxtry.html
which explains the origin - a corruption of "extra" as in "extra,extra read
all about it"
app0arently originating from a different comic strip.
Threefer:
i was listening to TTT on the way to work & got another 3'fer,
"I'm a runaway from the record biz
From the hoods in the hood and the whiny white kids"
1) record biz
2) hoods in the hood
3) whiny white kids
interesting that she is now a runaway from the record biz, while in the days
of free man in paris, "the work she'd taken on" kept her from running away
to paris - i guess shes tired of it now??
are we the whiny white kids? judging from jennymac's experience joni's not
*that* frantic to run away - i get the impression that she was very nice &
accessible.
funny, i bought TTT straight after i fell in love with TI, as it was touted
here as the perfection/culmination of the sound she started with TI. somehow
i never got into it. after joining the list i bought "hejira" - played it to
death, and somehow its led me back to TTT & i love it now?? doesnt seem like
a logical prgression - but it works for me.
as far as happy/sad music goes - i guess weve all heard the expression about
how it only takes 2 or 3 muscles to smile, but 47,000 (or thereabouts)
muscles to frown. perhaps its the same with the creative process? happy
music/artistic expression only takes 2 or 3 creative muscles, while sad/dark
music/artistic expression takes a whole lot more creative muscle, and is
therefore more complex and interesting to the listener/observer?
or perhaps people in general are morbid (but i dont think so )

really, really cool!!
but what i really, really want to know - what music was she buying?? what
music does she listen to in her spare time? does she kick back with britney
& the backstreet boys? or what?
