</font><blockquote><font>quote:</font><hr><font> Carnivore or Vegetarian? </font><hr></blockquote><font>hey Allison,

I’ve seen J chowing down on chicken a couple times before shows. Also, in the "Year Punk Broke" video, there’s a moment in Germany or something where he requests chicken from the caterer.

I know it’s silly, but your post just reminded me of that <img> Maybe his new Buddhism thing will cause him to go veg sometime…..or not <img>

take care

Hey Malcom,

I agree with Allison.

I’ve been led on by guys before = no fun. I absolutely cannot just hook up with random strangers and then let it go. Maybe people with self-esteem issues can do it, or drunk people; maybe I’m just too sensitive.

But it would be childish and hurtful to just avoid her, and leave her hanging. Be a man and tell her you’re not interested. She can stop wondering, and you can stop concocting elaborate schemes to avoid the situation.

Also, garlic should burn the taste out of your mouth <img>

interesting, den.

"I love you" is "I, tracks in the water".

"I am homesick" comes out as "They are nostalgic".

And my personal favorite, "I want a salad" is "I demand the insalata".

another toy for me! yay!

Hey RJ,

Just hang in there. You could always adopt a stage name (lest we forget, J started out as a Joseph). I myself alter my name slightly when I play out; it sure beats the hyphenated German-Italian last name I was born with.

But I don’t think you should place that much importance on it. Lots of famous musicians have "average" names, I think. Eric Clapton? Michael Jackson? Will Smith? Jill Scott? Scott Ian?

You’ll be fine!

-None, the roadie does it for them.

On the topic of funny, I saw the cover of People magazine in the store today. There’s a picture of Michael Jordan and his soon-to-be ex-wife, and the caption says "Slam-Dumped!" I thought it was pretty good.

J just doesn’t seem that calculating to me. I think that the relative fame of the band was incidental, and hardly influenced by the band’s throwing obstacles. Although, that’s quite an interesting mental picture.

I don’t remember 7 Year Bitch in that video?

and oddly enough, I started both threads. I don’t know why. I went back and read that one and just got mad all over again. I don’t mind so much when people disagree with me; my problem is when people misinterpret or ignore my original points. Or tell me that my opinions are just outright wrong.

I see no similarity in the topics (shortage of female dino fans / people who think J’s music is "sad"). Do us poor little uncultured chickies just not UNDERSTAND dino beause we’re not men and we can’t relate? Of course, that must be it. [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] Females don’t buy records, go to concerts, or share any of the emotions that the poor tortured men of the world do. And according to Dimpfelmoser, we don’t "define" ourselves through music as much as men do, nor do we play air guitar. Let’s face it, our only role in the music scene is that of the groupie/whore, or that of a seemingly conniving and manipulative Yoko Ono. Fuck it, I should just throw out all my records by male artists. What right have I to think I can "understand" any of them?

Everyone is going to get a little something different from any given piece of art. Equally important to consider is that, without knowing anything about my life personally, any inferrences landing outside my own original text are shots in the dark. I welcome ANYone’s opinion; else I wouldn’t have started the thread. But please don’t assume you necessarily know where I’m coming from, if I haven’t declared it myself.

I’m frustrated. I think I should’ve developed the first post a little more, if only as a preemptive measure against more misinterpretation. Oh well.

For now, I’m going to go put on some Dino, and not wallow in sadness. In fact, I might listen to it and get motivated to find a new job. I think I’m gonna take a break from the bbs for a little while, and plan my next attack. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

take care,

p.s. Jasper, if you ever do write that paper, I’d like to read it sometime.

p.p.s. apologies to you all if I got a little carried away….it’s the "crying on the sidewalk" facet of my nature, rearing its ugly head as I sit on the brink of a breakup.

Hey br,

I hadn’t really heard Smog, so after reading your post I hunted some down on the web. I don’t hear a resemblance to Eddie, except maybe in the production on some of the songs (the way the vocal is up-front, thick, and clear). Callahan’s voice has a totally different tone and pitch, and a different feel altogether. He sounds a little more nasaly, and a lot more British.

Hey, I was at that concert [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] It was funny; the Music Hall supposedly has a strict no-camera policy, and they were peeking into people’s bags with a flashlight at the door. I opened up my bag for the guy, and he shined his flashlight right onto my camera, then looked at me and smiled and said "okay, enjoy the show".

That OSX guy was there; I saw his pics up on his site a while back. Also tons of other people down front with all kinds of cameras and camera-like gadgets. It was like a press conference, but without the questions. Really nice to see that photographers/journalists/renegade filmmakers are still interested in J’s music.

Hey,

I quit voting tonight. The first time I checked out the page, I accidentally voted for System of a Down, so I went back and voted for Dino to cancel it out, then voted a few more times, then realized that I needed RealPlayer, then decided that I’d be altruistic & keep voting so you guys could enjoy it, then decided (after a few days of voting) that I’d contributed enough to help birth something that I won’t be able to enjoy.

It’s at 50% last I checked; you guys should be in the clear if you keep on it. Good luck–

Rosa

Very nice! I hadn’t seen those before. I love the one of J & Luisa & the dog…too much! Also the pic of what appears to be someone’s fridge, with a check for $25 made out to J…??

thanks,
