I'm not sure because my CD-box is about three hundred miles and four countries
away from me and my CD, but I'm fairly sure my copy of Lincoln has a blue spine,
which would kind of mess things up a bit for the "alternating spine" line of
thought - maybe the European packaging is different.

Maybe I'm unique, but I don't think I've ever found a TMBG song to be
depressing - thoughtful yes, but we're not exactly talking Leonard Cohen here
are we?

It depends what you would describe as "moshing".  Crowd-surfing is a relative
new-comer in terms of gig-behaviour, but I can remember a few gigs I've been
to over the years where the pit has been a definite "no glasses" area.  In
fact I've been to a few where the pit has been a "no survivors" area.  I've
generally found that the larger a venue is, the greater the proportion of
(sorry, but) tossers in the crowd .  The trouble is that with
influences from the US coming over so quickly, it never takes anything very
long to catch on (Past history: Crowd-surfing, LA Raiders, in-line skates,
New Kids...shudder)

I read in the FAQ that TMBG took their name from a movie of that
name from the early 70's.  Last week I rented that movie.
It's about a man who thinks that he is Sherlock Holmes, the
great detective of fiction.  His brother contacts a doctor to
have him committed.  Her name is Dr. Watson.  She wants to help
him, and he wants to make a detective out of her.

For me, the key dialogue of the movie, where the title comes from,
follows:

Holmes: Here, what do you make of it?

Watson: God, you're just like Don Quixote, you think everything's
        always something else.

Holmes: Heh, heh, heh, well he had a point.  Of course, he carried
        it a bit too far.
        He thought that every windmill was a giant.
        That's insane.  But, thinking that they might be ...
        Well, all the best minds used to think the world was flat.
        But, what if it isn't?  It might be round.
        And bread mold might be medicine.
        If we never looked at things and thought of what they might
        be, why, we'd all still be out there in the tall grass
        with the apes.

Hi everyone!
It was posted recently that Mono Puff was supposed to be in Philadelphia
at the Theatre of the Living Arts on June 26.  I tried to call them and get

Hello,
 My sister's not a huge TMBG fan, but she does like some of their stuff.
She works in the children's room of a local library. Yesterday she
brought home a childrens book for me called "The Nightgown of the Sullen
Moon" I don't know if anybody has seen it before. I forget who the author
is (I left the book at home) but it was published in 1983. It really has
nothing to do with the song ( as far as i can tell) but it would be a
really wild coincidence if They had not seen the book somewhere and used
the title. It's a cool little story though and if you can find it you
should check it out.
Take it easy,
  Wubba

	The web site has won an another award.  This one
looks slightly more legit, so I went ahead and put it on
the page.  Actually, it's there because they claim they
will send me a "free gift" if I do...so it can hang out
there for a while.  I'm curious to see what they are
giving out.

	Also, I'd like to remind everyone to call
1-800-DIAL-MTV and request "The Devel Went Down to

Subject: Fingertips.

Something that was fairly obviously about this song just recently
occured to me.  The stretches from #17, to #37.  That's 20 songs.  So I
figure that the 2 johns just made up a short little statement about each
of their fingertips.  I've read a few Interpretations about this
song(such as, flipping through the radio.. etc..), and never did I see
this mentioned.. Anyhow, there's my interpretation.

Subject: Flans on AOL

Well, I just read the transcript of the little Q & A session, and I must
say I'm glad I wasn't there.  It pained me enough to read it after the
fact.  But Flans was very nice - I would have told everyone to ask
meaningful questions about Mono Puff, and stop being such idiots.  But
that's just me.
