Does anybody know if this song (We're riding on the escalator of life, we're 
shopping at the human mall...??) is available anywhere on CD (even if only 
on some compilation album)?  Any help would be greatly appreciative.... 
It's one of the few early 80's songs I can't find anywhere (I also can't 
find Musical Youth's PASS THE DUCHY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE).

$0.02:

90125 and Fragile are probably *the* Yes albums in terms of being very 
representative. 90125 sums up the later re-birth of Yes, and has the all-time
classics like It Can Happen and Changes.  Fragile has *all* the good early
stuff, veery representative of early Yes as a whole.

From there, The Yes Album, Close To the Edge are really, really good. 
The middle stuff -- relayer to Drama -- and the latest stuff should be
gotten only once one is into Yes.

However, if you want a sampler, Yessongs has all the real classic early
songs. And Yesshows has the best of the middle period. (Then if there is
too much cash around you, and you need to blow some, get the retrospective
Yesyears!)

She beleives that all the strife/wars in the world are caused by
the existance of organised religions ie. The Catholic Church, Islam,
Judahism and therefore her way of dealing with this is to attack them
any time that she can. I suppose the Pope was chosen simply because
he is a well known target. If she knew of a head of the Islamic faith,
the Jewish faith then perhaps she would have attacked them too. Or
perhaps not ......

I know this from seeing an interview with her on British TV in which
all this gushed forth with vitriolic ferver from her mouth.

In one way she may have a point, but going around insulting people
and their faiths in my view won't acheive much, other than isolate
her by putting her in a 'loudmouthed mad woman' pidgeonhole that
everybody seems to have put her into.

A couple of months ago I bought the new Faith No More CD, _Angel_Dust_ and
liked it very much, so I bought their previous CD, _The_Real_Thing_.  Both
are good CDs, but I noticed that the lead singer, Mike Patton sounds very  
different on each album.  He sounds like two totally different people.  My
question is this: what happened to his voice?  I realize that people can 
change their style, but the difference here is incredible.  I'm just
curious.

Hawkins?

I've gotten several inquiries from people who wanted to find out 
what I found out, but alas, nobody has much of anything on her.

We could start a mystery club, sorta wondering what she's up to 
when there's nothing else to do :=)

If anyone has any info, etc... on Sophie B. Hawkins, please drop

drop me a note and I'll file your address.--

I have no idea if Fishbone is on tour or not, but the Bosstones are always
on tour, I think.   I saw them recently in Albany, and the week before that 
they were in Storrs, Ct.  (Thats where UConn is)  but I have no idea if they're
going to the midwest.  If they do, I suggest you/everybody see them.  I think
they are one of the best live shows I've ever seen.  I've only seem them three
times though.  However all three times were excellent.   Each time something
new and exciting happened.  The first time, last January, was probably the 
first time I went to a "hardcore" show, since then I've seen a lot more, since
slamming is so much fun.  (except when frat jocks, or nazi security messes with
people)  well anyway, its always great when dickey jumps into the crowd, or
people jump up on stage, sometimes people are taken from the audience to sing
with the band, like last time, someone wanted to stage dive, so the band stopped, the guy got on stage, and dickey said, 1,2,3 go, the band started up again,
the guy dove in, it was awesome.  not only is the show fun, but the music is 
great too.  well, i've wasted your time enough, and i havent even answered your
question.  so if you see them, have fun, if you dont, then ohh well......

Does anyone have any information concerning Bon Jovi's upcoming "Keep the Faith"tour?  I would appreciate all input.  I especially want to know if they will be performing in Illinois.  Thanks!

There was an interview with Sophie B. Hawkins in the September
issue of the UK magazine Rock World.

Apparently she is 25 years old from NY. She grew among the
Afro-American community with a mother who is a writer that,
according to Sophie, drinks a lot. She got interested in African
rhytms early on and did take lessons (drums/percussion) from
Brazilian and African drummers/percussionists in east Harlem.
She started singing when she was 20. One day some time ago she
got a call from Bryan Ferry in England that had heard a demo
with her, and he wanted her to come over to do some singing
with him. As it turned out he fired her only a couple of months
later. She says in the article that her percussions didn't fit
into the music Ferry was making, but she was happy that she went
over there anyway. She says other things like "If I am with a man
or a woman that doesn't bother me. I don't think of myself as
being gay, heterosexual or bisexual. I call myself omnisexual."

Well that covers most of what the article said.
