RE: NPR whatever
Matt said: A good piece, tho NPR was obviously being condescending and too east coast liberal about it. Those bastards. NPR stands for "National Propaganda Radio." If I hear one more Pentagon press release on the war in Yugoslavia, read by Neil Conan as if he were actually practicing journalism, I do believe I'll hurl. Roy Kasten [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Goose Creek Symphony
Kip says: Oh, I'd rather not incriminate myself in public, Roy. St. Louis is a small town g. Well, I think I get out to clubs pretty frequently and I've yet to observe the tie-died masses playing all manner of fiddles and mandolins. I think you're overstating it when you say "it's all the rage" here. It's not, and, to be honest, I'm not sure it'd be a bad thing if it were. It's about time something killed warmed-over alternative rock, and it probably won't be this long haired folkie's long songs about long rivers. Roy Kasten [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Country Weekly magazine?
Neil wants to know Country Weekly is to People Magazine what People Magazine is to National Enquirer. Does that makes sense? Actually, you can find up-to-date chart info in it, but the quality of writing and the musicians focused on aren't exactly P2 friendly You can check it out online at http://www.countryweekly.com/ or at your favorite supermarket checkout aisle, which is the only place I've ever seen it Roy Kasten [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Goose Creek Symphony
Kip writes: It's becoming all da rage here in St. Louis, too: half-proficient tie-dyed youth playing fiddles, mandolins, banjos and Martin guitars. Who do you have in mind here, Kip? Roy

I've been assembling an immense catalog of evidence and logic, organized cross-referenced to wipe out Weisberger's posts with but a click of the mouse. If that doesn't work I'll just start calling names. Does this mean there's gonna be hell to pay the next time I engage in indiscriminate f*lkie-bashing? Guess. Or are the rumors true about Roy abandoning coffeehouse music in favor of HNC heartthrobs like Deana Carter? For the record, my most recent experience with Carter was quite memorable. Her last album wasn't so bad either. Roy Kasten [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tomness writes: Seeing the sense in which Bob Dylan don't know how to sing shouldn't be too hard. Seeing the sense in which Bob Dylan don't know how to play harmonica should be a no brainer. Ah, if I only had a brainIn what sense does Bob not know how to sing? He doesn't know how to sing on key? (He does.) Doesn't know how to deliver a melody? (He does.) He doesn't know how to use his voice as an emotional vehicle? (He does.) I'm not even gonna touch the harmonica issue, until I get some sense out of what Tom is talking about.

RE: pumpskully
The "P" word has been spoken. No more will I be silent. Pumpskully is not the ressurection of Southern Rock, though, for what it's worth, they may have authored a new genre. Call it snuffcountry. Roy Kasten [EMAIL PROTECTED]
