Has any other Hunter Thompson fans seen it, > is it any good? > Well, this is off-topic, but I'm aware from recent posts that there are a lot of Gilliam fans here (no surprise). I'm a big fan of both Gilliam and Hunter Thompson, and I have to say that I was a *LITTLE* bit disappointed with the "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" movie. (That's the first time I've ever said that about a Gilliam movie!) Oddly enough, what disappoints me is that the movie is so true to the book. There's not any departure from the book, there's nothing really new about it. It follows the book VERY closely, the dialouge and voice-over is verbatim (or nearly so), and so I didn't feel that the movie had much to offer. It's quite well done, don't get me wrong, the movie is *GOOD*, it's just that if you've read the book, the movie doesn't give you anything you don't already have. Actually, my bias is talking here. My personal rule is to not go see a movie if it's based on a book that you like. I am ALMOST always disappointed in the result. Even if Terry Gilliam is directing, apparently! (possible off-topic thread: how many movies which are based on great books DON'T suck?

Are you all aware that the title "Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love" did NOT originate with They Might Be Giants? There was a song with this title on the album "Birds of Fire" by Mahavishnu Orchestra, an excellent jazz-fusion band. The album came out in 1973. I was a fan of Mahavishnu Orch. before I ever heard (or heard of) TMBG, and one of the things that originally intrigued me when I heard "Flood" was that they had used this title. The original, BTW, is NOTHING like Their version, it's not even really a "song", more like a little sound effect interlude. It only lasts 22 seconds. I think They used the title as a kind of tribute, certainly Their song of that title is really an entirely different thing. (Of course there's always the possiblity that both bands came up with the same title independently of one another, yeah, right). Anyway, anyone interested in hearing the ORIGINAL "Sapphire Bullets of Real Love" can go to the FTP site below, download "bullets.mp3". I'll leave it up a couple of days for anyone interested. ftp://ftp.hcc.cc.fl.us/uploads/ PS don't go out and buy "Birds of Fire" thinking it will be like TMBG. But you SHOULD go out and get it if you want to hear some of the most inspired jamming ever. This band had one of the best drummers EVER, Billy Cobham.

I went to see the Violent Femmes at the Newport in Columbus (great show by the way) and they actually cracked down on those crowd surfers! Anyone who did it was kicked out. Throughout the whole show, a mere *two* people dared to try it. I thought it was great. Anyone know if this is just the Violent Femmes' policy or if maybe they're just starting to get stricter about this? This is the first time in all the concerts I've been to that I've seen this happen, and it was a much more pleasant concert experience for all, in my opinion.

You can't expect them to keep the same show forever. During a tour, yes, things should stay pretty much the same, but from year to year some variety would help. Even if I didn't roadtrip to see them, I'd see them every time they came within under an hour's drive of me, and even those shows have been the same. That's what we're bothered by. We aren't really complaining that when we roadtrip they don't change the set for our benefit. That would be silly. :) Lawrence Solomon http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~lps/ lps@andrew.cmu.edu "Just because you're floating doesn't mean * This space inadvertently you haven't drowned." -They Might Be Giants * left with stuff in it.

EARTH DAY. so i get there, check out some of the booths, and decide to venture into the crowd that has gathered around the outdoor stage. my goodness. on the way there, i saw all kinds of trash laying around, flyers thrown on the ground, cans being kicked. i thought everyone was insane... i was here to celebrate earth day. the purpose of earth day is to keep it CLEAN. so that made me angry from the start. so i get kind of close to the stage... not right up front or anything, but close, and start to peacefully watch the band that was currently performing. i'm just standing there, digging the music, tapping my foot a little... not hurting anything. but NOOOO... i couldn't watch the show undisturbed or anything. the huge crowd that i had become the outside fringe to was made of kids, around 12 to 14, that decided crowd surfing was the thing to do. not even just passing people around. we're takling about chucking people to see how far they'll go. so every 10 seconds, the crowd woud surge one way or the next, and i had to shift my position to avoid getting taken in or getting a foot in my face. so i was ticked off, and finally this one girl (who i'd been observing and had been of particular annoyance to me) started coming in mydirection, people passing her down to my way. she's headed straight for me, and it was up to me to push her back in the direction of the crowd. umm, no. so i stepped lightly to the side to avoid her being thrown on top of me, and (heheh) nobody picked up the slack. it was an awfully loud thud when she hit the ground. she was fine, nothing hurt worse than her pride. but sheesh... i didn't want her on top of me! in case you couldn't tell by my lengthy post, crowds and their awful habits are a particular annoyance to me. bah. jen- the one who asks moneys to stand on your head while you visit the whales in my bath tub From owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org Mon Apr 19 16:05:32 1999 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.9.2/8.9.2) id QAA17496 for tmbg-list-outgoing; Mon, 19 Apr 1999 16:05:32 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org) Received: from mail0.sdf.vprlnk.net (root@mail0.sdf.vprlnk.net [209.119.92.16]) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id QAA17487 for ; Mon, 19 Apr 1999 16:05:30 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from carlynn@sevenlands.com) Received: from sevenlands.com ([208.141.12.245]) by mail0.sdf.vprlnk.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id QAA24713 for ; Mon, 19 Apr 1999 16:05:27 -0400 Message-ID: <371B8B86.CFFAB2B7@sevenlands.com> Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 16:01:10 -0400 From: carlyn nugent X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: TMBG List Subject: Re: TMBG: netscape, mail question References: <1a5f4641.244bc361@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org Precedence: bulk Reply-To: carlyn nugent LimeZinger@aol.com wrote: > > arrgh.. > > i'm trying to figure out how to set up mail prefs in netscape so that i can > send from my tmbg.org email address.. i don't even know if it's possible.. > but if it is, can anyone tell me what the fruck i'm supposed to do? it's > not -necessary-, but i'd like to know if i could. hmm.. > > sarah All you should need to do is this... Go to Preferences, then Mail & Newsgroups, then Identity. Change the e-mail address and/or reply-to address. That's it. You shouldn't need to change your actual mail server(s) to use the address. If that's what you want to do, though, you will have to contact tmbg.org and ask for the pop and smtp servers, user name and password. (Most likely, they don't do this...I think it's just a forwarding service.)

I went back and read the book again after seeing the film. Besides lots of things being left out of the film version (which is pretty typical, in general, as you can't usually fit every scene in a book into a two-hour film), there are a few "new" bits. For example, the whole thing with Thompson waking up in the flooded, trashed,room with a tail and tape recorder strapped to his person is not in the book--more of a condensed visual of the general debauchery, I think. The scene where he flashes back to the first time he drops acid is expanded and (I think) made funnier. The scene where he's pulled over by the cop, out in the desert, is in the book...but the film puts a twist on it that Thompson didn't write (what with the cop wanting his "company"). There might be others...those are just the ones that spring to my mind. > (possible off-topic thread: how many movies which are based on > great books DON'T suck? I think this would be a short list for > me personally) Define "great" book. For me, the following films are on the list because I loved the books and the films didn't suck (even though some are way less than true adaptations of the book--even changing the title in a few cases): A Clockwork Orange Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Hellraiser The Wizard of Oz Frankenstein (1931) Blade Runner Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Something Wicked This Way Comes (okay, this one comes nowhere near the book...still it doesn't actually suck...just has a lot to live up to) That's all that I can think of, but I'm sure there's something else.

(that doesn't count as a real femmes show because i was stuck in traffic and missed them completely and was really really upset.) i definitely don't think it was the newport's initiative. i dislike the newport. it is sleazy. too bad they get really good shows. i'm hoping that the tmbg show next week won't be as.....um....smoke-filled as last night's show. love and aire libre, becky From: MX%"kocar.1@osu.edu" "Diana Kocar" 19-APR-1999 14:06:47.20 To: MX%"tmbg-list@tmbg.org" CC: Subj: NON-TMBG: crowd surfing This doesn't really have to do with TMBG, but I know a lot of you go to concerts a lot, so I thought you might be interested in the amazing occurrence I observed last night. I went to see the Violent Femmes at the Newport in Columbus (great show by the way) and they actually cracked down on those crowd surfers! Anyone who did it was kicked out. Throughout the whole show, a mere *two* people dared to try it. I thought it was great. Anyone know if this is just the Violent Femmes' policy or if maybe they're just starting to get stricter about this? This is the first time in all the concerts I've been to that I've seen this happen, and it was a much more pleasant concert experience for all, in my opinion.

It's quite well >done, don't get me wrong, the movie is *GOOD*, it's just that if >you've read the book, the movie doesn't give you anything you >don't already have. I must respectfully disagree. Any movie lends a different perspective on a story than the book does, simply due to the difference in media. It's just that most times, the movie doesn't do the book justice. FLLV, I feel, is the glopwing exception. I found it to be outstanding, and when I went back and read the book again, I got a lot more out of it (because I had these images of what was going on). Oh, golly, I actually meant glowing, not glopwing, there. Not that FLLV wasn't glopwing too, of course. love biscuits for everyone, Todd _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

He should have never gone public. Actually, that episode was mis-titled. It was supposed to be "Men Who Sleep With Grilled Creatures" and Mike was there as an animal rights advocate who was killed no less than 24 times on camera.

How early you get there depends on how 'in front' you want to be. If you're in front you can actually see the Johns but you're also subject to crowd surfing, moshing and a sever lack of any personal space whatsoever. If this is a TMBG only show then the front should be somewhat tame though it depends. If its an outdoor show with other bands avoid the front like the plague. Those even the least bit claustrophobic should not be anywhere near the front. Also don't go in the front if you're not up to alot of bouncing around. Most of the dancing at a TMBG show consists of bouncing up and down in place. You might want to try to see if you can last through Birdhouse at home before you go. I personally can usually barely make it. Then again I'm an out of shape wuss. Another reason to go for the front is to grab the setlist at the end of the show. Though the sound guy in the back is a much easier way to get the setlist if you plan ahead. (I usually horked it from him during the second rendition of Dr Worm on the last tour and he didnt seem to mind.) As far as participation goes I'd say go for the conga line. It's unique, its fun and only weenie fronters dont participate (and suffer the wrath of Flans). If you're really worried about that front row spot then cut out a tad early and get your arse back to the front. I don't know if they're still doing this but another participatory portion of the show is the Battle for the Planet of the Apes where the audience takes turns chanting Apes! and People! to see who wins. I think I was at the only concert where the Apes actually won so see if you can get em to win again. At the show I was at the audience mussed up the cadence for People and tried to squish it all into one syllable instead of a two syllable chant. If you're feeling saucy then do what my friend and I do and randomly chant 'Apes! Apes! Apes!' during quieter parts of the show between songs. Other general participatory things are to dance and sing alot. Don't just stand there like The Stick (tm).
