Jeez, I shoulda known better than to mention "phlegm" around you smartasses.g Anyway, after goin' home early and sleepin' all afternoon and evening, the lungs have cleared up a bit (they no longer creak when I breathe), so hopefully I'll be in tiptop shape by the time I hit Austin. Then again, the KCMU pledge drive starts today, and I'll be incessantly beggin' for dollars for the next few days, along with seein' Neko Case tonight and the Damnations/Buckner on Saturday. I sure hope this old body makes it--don
Re: Reading between the lines
This is much like the music debate, either you like it or you don't...but please don't try and stamp a # on my forehead and call me just another asshole because I drive an SUV. quick to plug SUV drivers as a certain type. The great majority of folks do not subscribe to P2 to discuss SUVs. How did George Jones' driving mistake turn into this conversation? Jee-sus! Derek, Paul, whoever, darlin, ya'll calm down. I don't think I ever once mentioned that people who drive SUV's were assholes. Where the hell did you get that? I enjoyed other comments from those on the list who mentioned older cars and just got a little nastalgic. Hey ya'll, I did not say SUV drivers suck, I just personally don't dig the vehicle. So what? I don't like green food either, so what? Infact, I think green food sucks so what? Talking about a car is one thing, but I certainly don't want any of you to suggest that I would rag on your character because of what you drive, music you listen to (unless you like *insert worst band on earth you can think of*g), what color you are, what you wear, bla bla bla. Hell, I don't even know you. Ya'll express your opinions about everything under the sun, sometimes ya'll just talk about music. Sometimes music moves to baseball. Sometimes serious subjects like a legend who has a car wreck moves to cell phones or to SUV's. More power to you if you are the proud owner of an SUV. Great. Get one of those 19 foot jobbies. For me, I would rather have an old boat gas guzzlin Cadillac. I'll settle for my Merc. Big deal. So what? Read whatever you feel you must into that, I just like old cars! Often times on this list, people tend to read too much in-between the lines. Now I am sure there is some music or musician that can be discussed, ragged upon, picked apart, analyzed, second guessed, trashed or maybe even phrased. My sincere deepest apologies to all of you for ever having made any comments about SUV's, among other things on this list. Love, Nancy P.S. rash judgments about you as a slacker musician driving an old car. (My point there isn't that you are a slacker musician - my point is, stereotypes aren't always true) That's a good one. Just like Nicholas Cage said about his gooney jacket he wore in Wild At Heart, I do PERSONALLY think that some things we select for ourselves do reflect our individuality. Again, SO WHAT The term slacker musician seems odd though, since all the musicians I know work harder than anyone. No point in touching that one tho..

First, I should have put one of those big G thingys in there, but ... I didn't mean to infer that you were calling anyone an asshole. It was meant more as a general sarcastic statement to all those who so far have had nothing but ill things to say about SUV's (and punching shots at the type of people who own them). This wasn't a reply to you as much as it wast to the thread. Seeing that Mr. Purcell was the only one to come forward as owning an SUV, I felt the need to join him. Your post just happened to be the one coming out when I got the urge. I don't want to piss List Daddy Yates off anymore with this topic. Derek

If anyone still feels impelled to apologize to someone about this trivial nonsense, just email them privately. thanks, don (who has a nasty chest cold and will graphically describe the taste, texture and color of his phlegm to the next person who posts about SUVs)

ObTC Has anyone ever written a good phlegm song? Jeff Wall Does "TB Blues" count? Or, how about the "TB is Whipping Me?" And let us not forget any number of pot-smokin' songs. Of course, for some reason, none of them are coming to mind right now. What was the question again? Lance . . .

RE: Reading between the lines
How about Kinky Friedman's Old Ben Lucas "had a lot of mucus coming right out of his nose Jeff was asking about phlegm songs, not mucus songs, and of course there's something to be said for preserving genre boundaries g. "I Can't Quit Cigarettes," written by Jerry Crutchfield and Billy Kitchen and recorded by Jimmy Martin back in 1965, arguably qualifies, as it features some great hacking and wheezing from Bill Torbert, then the Sunny Mountain Boys' mandolin player. "We did that session stone cold," Torbert recalled in an interview quoted in the Bear Family box set. "Jimmy Martin read the lyrics off a paper. When we did 'I Can't Quit Cigarettes,' we (Jimmy) went around the group to see who had the best cough. I won." Jon Weisberger Kenton County, KY [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.fuse.net/jonweisberger/
