"Mommy mommy I love my muppets, I love my muppets to brush my teeth." If you remember that jingle as well, I will start a support group. >I mean, if anything, it's awe-inspiring to see a once-lesser-known >band >earn the capacity to have a substantial effect on a greater >population. EXACTLY! This person is right on. Actually, their entire post was right on, but you knew that. Didn't anyone else see Beck's small club tour in '96 wiff da Mouse & Money Mark in tow? I wasn't the only one buying their CD for the first time that night, I remember. I think it would really be a burden to be a musician who is successful on any level. As soon as you are able to sell enough records to go from full-time to part-time at the diner, you have Joe Elite telling you that you're selling out and not being true to yrself. You just can't make all the people happy ever. And that would probably frustrate me to the point of excess drinking whilest I was rocking. And then when Mr. Scenester makes some wiseass snap from the middle of the room, I would haul my Les Paul copy into the audience and crown his cranium with its rusty machineheads. I think if there were more altercations between band and audience, then people would maybe realize the error of their ways. One could only hope. Breaking down the fourth wall, kids. Re: hockey I think the greatest hockey highlight ever would be Jaromir Jagr's 100th point last season against the Flyers. He broke down ice with one guy to beat. The defenseman hauled him off his skates, but somehow Jags jabs the puck toward the net. It deflects off of Hextall's chest and Jags bats it out of mid-air while sliding down ice on his stomach. Goal. I was there, and I about soiled my knickers seeing that beauteous moment. Is it October yet? And on a Modest Mouse note, is anyone taping the Euro shows? I gots mad love to trade, believe dat.
