Yeah, I know I rarely write. I'm just kind of an observer. But I keep
OBSERVING these friggin' adVERtisEMENts. ummmm, ANNOYING? I really don't
want a book on anarchy, I don't want to learn how to start my own
internet business, I just want to hear about Ben Folds Five, other
related subjects, and the opinions and thoughts of other Ben Folds
junkies. I dunno. I'm not meaning to offend anyone, but I just don't
think I can take it anymore.
rrg.
Annie

Subject: NESCACers on Armchair???
Hey all!
This isn't really Bentent, but the show scheduled for Amherst and Bowdoin
made me wonder how many people from NESCAC schools there are on the
Armchair????? So if you are from Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Conn College,
Colby, Hamilton, Middlebury, Trinity, Tufts, Wesleyan, or Williams drop me
a line (on private e-mail, I'm sure most people out there don't care) and I
will put together a little directory or something if popular demand calls
for it....

Subject: CD Prices...
Here in Canada I pay about $27.35 for a Ben Folds Five CD. It's highway
robbery, I tell you... MAN, you Americans have it lucky!

Subject: The Beg., can we be happy? question
Maybe I'll make one comment on this whole thing, if everyone promises
not to yell at me or something. Some people have a tendency to do that.
If you feel morally/financially "right" by buying the Beginnings for the
designated price, then buy it. If you think it's wrong, don't buy it.
You can't stop its creation and utilization entirely; it will always
happen in one form or another. Just know, as others have said quite
well, that there's other ways to get rare stuff. (Hey, I'd spread the
love if I had any rare stuff to pass around, but I don't).
I guess it's not my place to say this, but please stop being rude to
other people on this list. While it may seem like you're writing those
angry lines to some computer screen, it's actually a person behind it
(imagine that!). Let's take the words of wisdom seriously, "we can be
happy..."
Now I have a question. It may have been discussed before, but that's
before I was here. The song "Smoke" - is it about a specific
thing/event? It could be attributed to many situations in history (I'll
specify if you'd like), so I was wondering.
Thanks.
Lauren
