Lenin didn't get involved until the 20th century. The idea that Lenin was good and Stalin screwed it up is Khrushev era propaganda. Marxist Leninism is an elitist perversion of Marxism. it argues that Professional Revolutionaries must led the workers to revolution and once the revolution occurs they will direct the governtment and means of production until true communism can be achieved. Lenin was just as bad Stalin atrcity wise too. As early as 1920, Lenin orchestrated purges and allowed grain to be withheld from starving peasants. Stalin merley continued Lenin's policies. Some of this info isn't common knowledge. i got most of it from a class on 20th century russian history it took last fall. The prof had just spent 2 years in moscow going through the CPSU archives. ------------------------------ From: OverpassX@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 17:11:05 EDT Subject: TMBG: Atlantic City Did anyone see Them when they played at Atlantic City a weekend ago??

At the risk of increasing the traffic to a standstill (is it technically possible to increase something to a standstill?) can I suggest one related and one non-related TMBG topic. 1) STD comes out. A radio stations picks up on a track, followed by another radio station etc. etc. (similar to what happened with, say, Sara Smile by Hall & Oates). TMBG suddenly have a hit on their hands. Electktra in their infinite wisdom see a marketing and financial opportunity and decide to release 'TMBG Greatest Hits/ Best of'. Has this list recently done something as simple (and controversial) as work out what should be on a best of compilation. Obviously start with Birdcage and end with End of the Tour. In between I want to see Destination Moon. And the rest.......... 2) In the deluge of EMAils someone mentioned Nick Lowe (aka know as the greatest living Englishman in some circles). A few years ago I used to work in the only office in a lovely part of West London that was largely residential with listed (i.e. preserved) building. And two houses from our office lived ....Nick Lowe! His house was actually not that big by the way and opened straight onto the square. We were always seeing him and were quite relaxed about having a 'star' so close. So has anyone else lived or worked near someone the rest of us may have heard of. Not interested in sordid details about who they were seen with. If these subjects have been covered in the recent past I apologise.

I was listening to the Phil Hendrie show on local L.A. talk radio tonight (KFI 640 AM, M-F. 7-11PM) and they were discussing band names. He named countless band who names "suck" in his opinion. A lady called to ask what he thought about a couple of names. One of them was "They Might Be Giants". Phil (who is hard to please) said, "I like that name! What do you think about it?" The caller ignored the question and kept yapping on. I didn't get any indication of whether either of them liked the actual band (or even heard their music) but anyway it was weird to hear them mentioned on an all talk AM radio station. By the way, if you live in So. Cal. I highly recommend you listen to the show. He has some very interesting guests! -B O N G O _____________________________________________ "And the places that I'm dreaming of Do they dream only of me?" -Tom Waits ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 08:53:10 -0500 (CDT) From: Robin Subject: TMBG: Feeling a bit left out.

If I never heard Istanbul or Particle Man in concert again I couldn't be happier. Just leaves more room for all of the cool songs! And as for the Guitar, that has been way overplayed on tv, in concerts, etc., when you see that 20 or 30 times at practically every show you know it's time to hear a new song or an old classic. -Matt -- Matt James mjames@greed.loyola.edu Loyola College in Baltimore, MD Bruce Campbell Gazette: www.bcgazette.com ------------------------------ From: mjames@khserver.loyola.edu (Matthew James) Message-Id: <9806301355.AA02049@khserver.loyola.edu> Subject: TMBG: Feeling a bit left out.

I think maybe some of their songs might have taken a lot less time to do, aand they just wanted to throw something on, but think about it, most of their albums have a butt load of songs (19 or 20 or so) on them anyway, so they wouldn't need filler if they were short 4 or 5 songs (14 or 15 is still a lot). *Mike* ------------------------------ Message-Id: <3.0.2.32.19980630190158.007dbae0@mail-in.keme.net> Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 19:01:58 +0100 From: the famous Uncle Squid Subject: Re: TMBG: Friday's concert At 13:23 30/06/98 -0400, you wrote: >Someone just mailed me asking for info about the concert- so I figured I >would post what I got off the web page for everyone. > >Sorry if this is old news to anyone.... > >TRADITION ROCKS!

Gatherings matter not. Devivals and conventions are fun... but any quick perusal of the holy books will let you know they're not important. So long as you've got your Ordainment Card in your pocket, a song in your heart, blind, dumb faith in "Bob" in your soul, and a hand in your panties, the Pleasure Saucers will have absolutely no trouble finding you and sucking you up into their unearthly bowels. I will be doing my final commune with nature early in the morning (debauchery in the woods at 1 AM), followed by a heavy breakfast (pie and avocado bagels at 2:30 AM), followed by one final listen to "Once in a Lifetime" (3 AM), followed by a solid bout of causing terror, spreading panic, and advocating discord and horror around Iowa City (3:10 AM to 5 AM), followed by some more pie and an apple (5 AM- 5:15 AM), followed by more terror-causing/ final farewell to the stinking world (5:20-6:15 AM). The final forty five minutes will be spent in the peace of Iowa City's largest, greenest most beautiful cemetery, in silent contemplation/ rapture, as I await the arrival of the ships (and I don't want to be indoors when the Rupture comes, as I seriously suspect I would be ripped to bloody shreds while being sucked through the roof of my house). -Rev.
