Hi, Marco:

Got yer 'zine... still looking forward to the tape!  BOTH super!


Jeff sed:

>Composer John Cage died yesterday, Aug 12, in New York.....

THIS is a sad event... Cage is one of MY heros, & I agree, he was a MAJOR
influence!

Then SONIA sed:


>Unless I hear an outcry, "don't
>don't" I might dig up a few lines to post because it was really good and might
>serve as some kind of tribute.

The OUTCRY (from the ZZAJ quarter, ennyway) is FOR yer post!

Gary sed:


>        Great! Anyone who is undecided at this point deserves to be
>mislead. If we have to live through four more years of a lame-duck
>administration, we might as well throw in the towel. I'm not crazy
>about Clinton, but we definately need a chance.

How about anarchy as an alternative?

RE: Enya, Bob Crispen sed:

>Let me suggest a course of therapy, since you seem to have already
>fallen under her spell: Tad, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Jesus Lizard,
>Treponem Pal, and just about anything on Sub Pop, Wax Trax or Nettwerk
>labels.

HEY, Bob, ya' left out ZZAJ - that's BOUND to put the 'charge' back in her
sucked-out CD'S! (& WARP 'em at the same time)!

THEN Aisa got ticked off & sed:

>In other words.  Keep your comments to youself or talk all about it if you
>want to on FREETALK.

AISA, this IS FREETALK... whattya MEAN, keep your comments to yourself?  I
thought the idea on this net (or ANY net) was to keep the flow moving... you
know wot they say about gettin' outta' the KITCHEN, right?

LEONARD (the REPUBLICAN) asks:


>(1) If you had ypur choice of playing in any band past/present who
    would it be or would you rahter front your own.

Rather front my own (already DO, in fact), but if I were to choose from
the past, I think it'd be something like Hendrix/Miles or early Santana
groups!

>(2) Think hard on this one, what do you think of Chet Atkins also
    do you own any of his stuff

Don't own anything, but what I've listened to (especially the jazz
orientations) was FINE!

>(3) on a scale of 1 to 10 how important is music in your life

Like to turn that around a bit, Leonard; LIFE is important in my MUSIC, scale
of about 9!

>(4) Which instrument besides the one you play would you like to
    play

Love to play sax!

Then NANCY sed:


>I had just been introduced to.  And furthermore, some people do like
>Barry Manilow and John Denver or whoever, and their tastes should be
>respected regardless of whether or not you agree with them.

Hey, Nancy, I agree that people's tastes (in music or anything else) should
be respected - but if those of us who DON'T like Manilow or Denver (or Enya,
for that matter) say nothing, there's the possibility that you/others'd go
on thinking forever that the world was a rosy place that enjoyed YOUR tastes...
IOW, you wouldn't be in touch with REALITY!
