Har har har, but aren't we about to see just that? Not that I'm complaining. I'm happy to say I'm a Mississippian who never voted for that disgusting old whatchamacallit. Wm.

but i've not brought macca down with a word or two. wishing more of someone is not a condemnation. and it's CERTAINLY not based on wealth. i expect far less from the wealthy. i do, i suppose, expect more of artists in come cases, because they are, at times, the ones who are reflecting and evaluating the depth of emotion in our shared experience. in that regard, i would have been much more impressed with sir paul had he said 'holy shit' (as did you when your friend died) then 'what a drag.' 'holy shit' sounds more like someone caring to me. maybe that's just a generational thing, though, and i'll drop that one. but because he's an artist who might give more thought than at least some other people to things like the sanctity of memories of the dead, friendship above squabbling, love over property. i've never thought he was the deepest of rivers, though, so i'm not entirely surprised. if we all live in one big glass house, than what's the point of having a cliche about it? "jet" rocks, which is more important than any of this. kurt _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

My parents got me Kiss 'Alive II' for Christmas in 1977. I do not exaggerate a single iota when I say that was the single most decisive musical gift I ever got. Everything I've done since then can be traced back to the way that set fired my interest and imagination. Runner-up: Back in 1993, I asked my mom to get me the Nessa Art Ensemble box set, which at the time was still mail-order only (and my mom's not an avid mail-order consumer). And it arrived! On time! Second runner-up: Last year, my girlfriend's family all chipped in to get me the Kiss box set, while I gave my girlfriend the "Bristol Sessions" 2CD set from the Country Music Hall of Fame. This year, she's getting the Harry Smith box, which will certainly benefit me as well. Steve Smith ssmith36(a)sprynet.com NP - Amon Amarth, "Bloodshed," 'Versus the World' (Metal Blade)

>> Hey List, it's the holidays. What's the best gift of music you ever got? In 1975, my parents found me the DGG box set of Steve Reich's Drumming/Music For Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ/Six Pianos. I had heard Music For on the radio (it was the 70's) and it was the first 'minimalism' I had ever heard and I was instantly entranced. I searched for it for a long time and couldn't find it. I was so happy when I saw what they had actually found for me...I was beginning to think that I had *imagined* this music. (the sad ending is that my parents then had to hear me play this album through our shared walls for the next 2 years constantly...they hated it!) :-) Steve
