     All I have to say is that anytime someone well known takes the 
opportunity to get a major league dig at ANY organized religion, I stand
up and cheer.
     I've tended to agree with a lot of what Sinead stands for, and this
just makes me respect all the more.   Way to go, Sinead!

The N.K.C. Tribune is a newspaper out of Cle Elum (/Clee-el-um/) Washington
which is about 2 miles from Roslyn.  They are the closest paper to Roslyn
that has Roslyn news.  Whole paper typically runs about 18 pages.

In Thurs Sept. 17, '92, N.K.C. Tribune, front page of the second section,
There was an article titled "On Location with 'Northern Exposure': Lets talk
about the Emmys." There were two photos with the article.  One whose caption
read "John Ferro, Roslyn Fireman, had a role in the parade staged by Northern
Exposure in Roslyn last week.  Ferro drove the fire truck.  In order to hold
the parade, Pennsylvania Avenue was closed to traffic for 24 hours.  The
Skeleton man is visible walking in front of the fire truck.  The other
picture say "A backhoe became a dinosaur in the Northern Exposure parade."
and the "dinosaur" is shown.
The article talks about how the show where the old man told the story of
Cicely and Roslyn and the town in the beginning was submitted for Emmy
consideration, and all the nominations.

Last week's paper had a half page "thank you" from the makers of NX to the
town of Roslyn for their contribution to the Emmy won by NX.

	I've determined *why* exactly I hate the theme music. I just
figured it out last night...

	Anyone else out there play in a marching or pep band? 
Remember when you'd get really nasty arrangements of a piece of popular
music that was written to be played by eighth graders? When smooth
flowwing rhythms turn into "Ta-ta-ta-ta. Ta-ta-ta!" where each note
is accented as if you hadn't grasped the concept of slurring yet?
And the trills turn into "WAHwahWAHwahWAH" instead of a smooth
entity? THAT'S what drives me nuts about the new theme song. I get
that feeling I used to get when playing childish arrangements;
"What, do they think we're IDIOTS?" :-)
	Especially that butchered trill. It makes the trumpet player 
sound soooo inept....

	And that's just one musician's point of view. Maybe if it
didn't sound *so much* like a HACKED version of an old favorite 
(i.e. -- if it had been the original theme or the old theme was totally 
different), it wouldn't be so bothersome. :)

Joe Pesci was a breath of fresh air after countless number of unfunny guest
hosts in the last couple of seasons. Also,it seemed like the writers are
getting their act back together. Even mediocore Kevin Nealon looked like
a comic genius when reading the News. That's what a good material does to a
performer. I still think that Adam Sandler doesn't get the best lines(cajun
Man is just like the OperaMan is here to stay. Very Funny stuff.
The best sketch was "The Ring" eventhough it started very slow but became
hysterical at the end. The last sketch with the obnoxious NBC page(the
character is really has way too much mileage) was a good surprise with
Bobby D. and Martin S. making an appearance.

Spin Doctors did a medley of their hit song,"Little Miss Can't Be Wrong"
during the second musical number or at least it sounded like they were
doing a remix of the same song :-). Very unispiring performance by that
band,to say the least.

Just my impressions...

They broke up for a while because Whitley was driving Dwayne absolutely
spastic!  Whitley tends to be a bit hyper active at times and this was 
making Dwayne a little nuts.  He then went out (not really on a date per se,
just for coffee and talking) with another woman who was a bit closer to
Dwayne's intellectual equal.  Everyone was getting on him about two-timing
Whitley (nothing happened.  Just a little hand holding).  He finally told
Whitley what had happened but admitted that he still loved her and that
nothing had happened.  Whitley began to think that Dwayne was having second
thoughts so cut him loose until he was certain of his feelings.

Who's worse: the white supremacist that thinks King should have been shot
in the streets, like the mangy dog he was, or the thugs and hoodlums
who exploited the situation and took to the streets in an orgy of 
murder and destruction?  How about the liberal "compassion fascists" that
sought to prop RK up as some sort of civil rights hero?

Between the neo-nazis, the KKK, and the black gangs, anyone want to guess
who killed more blacks last year?  The year before that?  Over the past
ten years?  Well...?

If RK's beating was so racially motivated, then why weren't his black
passengers beat, as well?  Anyone...?  Could it be that they weren't
resisting arrest?

This needs to go to talk.politics.misc, where you can truly have some fun
with it - it doesn't really belong here, despite the fact that it got
more "air time" than most television mini-series.

Not only did they show Camp Wilder instead of Dinosaurs, the episode of Camp

	O.K. I always thought that it was just sams soul in another persons body
before. And that the person in the waiting room was the leapee in sams body, 
(such as when oswald looked inro the mirrored table and saw sam's reflection.) 
But this episode now has me highly confused. In general comments-for lack of a 
better way to say this...How does it work? If sam leaps into someone smaller 
than him, a child for example, the people around this child now have to look a 
foot or two higher to make eye contact? Understand? It's hard to explain what 
I'm trying to say, but specifically to this episode, If his legs were reall 
there, obviously solid enough for him to walk on, what would happen if, say, a 
doctor needed to examine his leg injuries? Even if the doctor "saw" sam as the 
patient, what if the doctor tried to pass his hand through the "empty" space 
where sams legs actually were? such as to treat his "stubs". Would his hands 
merely stop at some invisible solid barrier?(sam's legs). I am highly confused. 
If someone could explain this whole leaping thing so it makes sense to me I 
would be very appreciative.

I like Highlander too but I think the theme music by Queen is too
overpowering and somewhat inappropriate.  They should use some sort
of Scottish Highlander style music instead.

that she just made her answer up so I didn't press.

I then asked about Comedy Central and Sci-Fi and she said "They're talking about it". 
She said, however, that it would "not be anytime soon".

Y'know, the reason for the new "Cable Bill" was that prices were soaring and service was
in decline.  Does anyone know if, in order to improve quality, the FCC will interview
operators at cable companies to see if they know their jobs?  I've written to DC cable
in the past but have never received a reply.  Maybe the FCC can require cable companies
