A friend of mine is a big Alice in Wonderland fan and she was born during
Woodstock.  Does someone happen to know what time "White Rabbit" was played?
She has the theory that it has something to do with her love of Wonderland.

Oops, I goofed.

Bill Ward was/is the drummer for Black Sabbath. He released a solo cd

i can't give you a total summary, but here's the generic info.

out of canada, released a widely successful e.p. last year which 
 featured a knock on the beach boys lead singer, titled "brian
 wilson".  "be my yoko ono" was the bigger "success", and has
 been released as the promotional single here in the states.

the l.p., _gordon_ just came out in the states.  it's on sire,
 and does not include "fight the power" from the e.p., but
 does include remixed (and i think worse) versions of
 "be my yoko ono", "brian wilson", "$1000000", and
 "blame it on me".

my genre for them?  funny country/folk.  i can't use a better
 word, although neither quite fits them.  know the housemartins?
 well, at the end of one of the songs, the lead singer 
 puts in a verse from "happy hour", and sounds like them.

When a musician u think is otherwise good engages in this behavior, it is one
of 2 things.  it could be just an over-inflated ego, really a reflection of
their own lack of confidence in their skills, overcompensated for.  it's not
surprising any musician could have a lack of confidence no matter how good 
what with the industry's heavy exposure of everybody out there.  it's not 
significant anymore that you're the best band out of Anytown, USA, because
of all the zillions of great bands we can see/hear from all over.  so, even
if they don't beleive it, they have 2 say they're the best band in the world
just 2 get airplay and publicity.  with the competition as fierce as it is,
it's the only option for a player's psyche to bolster themselves up.

the second reason why bands/performers engage in this behavior is skill-
related.  usually, they keep this underwraps, but sometimes a lucky reviewer
draws this out of them and then it's plastered everywhere 4 everyone 2 see.
simply put, part of being a better performer is 2 make qualitative and
comparison judgements between yourself and others.  could i improve as a
performer if i couldn't recognize that sinead oconner is a powerful/creative
stylist and joan jett isn't in the same league?  could i improve as a 
rock performer if i couldn't say barbara streisand sings amazing, but
her arrangements suck the big wazoo?  isn't this how the pet shop boys were
able to consider (and ultimately choose to do so) producing Liza Minelli's
latest album?  only through critique and analysis can a musician hope to
improve and remain on the top of their field.  unfortunately, it usually makes
the headlines as, "frank sinatra says he don't like shinehead oconner".

Perhaps you were thinking of "Heaven", which _is_ on "Fegmania" and
was a minor college radio hit.  "America" was released as a single,
but I don't think it got much play in its namesake country -- for one
thing, "Groovy Decay" was never even released in the USA.

Jingoistic and/or sarcastic comments about confusing America with 
Heaven omitted in the interest of minimizing tedium.

Please help settle a source of confusion and possible marital discourse. This means that my wife and I have been having this on-going discussion about a Mamas and Papas song. We've been married for 9 years and I know this has come up *every* time the song is played. I heard it this morning on the way to work and decided to "Ask The Experts".

The song in question is "I Saw Her Again Last Night".  The background to the question is:

   Near the end of the song you hear the singers go, "I saw her a..." and then
   the drumming picks up (as if to find the beat?) and then the singers start
   again with "I saw her again last night, etc".

And the question (I won't give info on who feels which way) is:

   Was this a mistake or was this an intentional part of the song?

I don't usually subscribe to this newsgroup, so I'd appreciate answers via email, but I'll check the group for a week or so just in case...

	In the same vein as stickering, I'd personally like to give Warner
a big fat "FUCK YOU" for it's crap.  For those of you who don't know by now,
they don't sticker their stuff...they STAMP the album cover.  As in 
producing the cover with the "warning" already there.  Thank you Warner
for fucking up my RHCP and FNM albums with your prattle.  Does it really
cost so much to make STICKERS and put them on (certainly not more than the
big "Contains the hit song Underneath the Bridge" sticker I saw on BSSM
the other day)...

Does anyone know why Cindi Wilson left the group? BTW, GOOD STUFF is 
a very good release. They cannot seem to get back to that 'bizarre' 
garage sound they had in the beginning though.

How about :

Neil Young - 'Hey Hey My My...(into the black)'
	'.....this is the story of Johnny Rotten... (of the Sex Pistols, for the 
	uninitiated.....'

John Lennon - 'God'
	'.....don't beleive in Elvis.....don't believe in the Beatles..........
	......don't beleive in Zimmerman (ref to Bob Dylan for the unini.)

Don Maclean - 'American Pie'
	contains references to Buddy Holly, Elvis, Dylan, etc ....but not by name.
