  This week's issue of "TV Guide," due out today, reports that former 
  president Ronald Reagan voted for Bill Clinton.

  Pity poor Dan Quayle.  He and his running mate apparently couldn't
  even appeal to senile voters.

I have several questions:

1. What respect?
2. Who will actually write the book? Any ideas?
3. Will the book outsell Millie's book? 
4. Will it be in comic book form?
5. Will it be kept in the children's reading section of the library?

No wonder University of Cincinnati was recommended for Research University
status in Ohio - I imagine that Ohio State would have done something similar
since they were the only other state university recommended for this status
in the proposed "New Ohio Education Order".

We at Kent State would have simply continued to drone on and on and on and
on....  with the course material.


Signed - apparently a boring instructor, Stephen.


ps - This is somewhat of an inside joke (a sad one) where Ohio is considering
the elimination of state research funds to all schools except for the above
two mentioned.  I wonder if I could reverse their opinion by playing jb in
all my classes - I already listen in my office...

Speaking of re-makes of JB's music, how about this one?

I was listening to a local "muzak" station (it is a RADIO station, but they
play muzak 'music'), and I heard the steel drum part from a song on the album
"Floridays".  The name of the song was "Creola".  I thought, WOW!  A JB song
on the radio!  So I listened to it.  But it was a strange version.  When it 
got to the part of the song when Jimmy begins his vocals again, the version 
they were playing just started the steel drum solo again.  So, basically, what
they played was an extended steel drum solo.

When the announcer came on, he said that it was called "Creola", but he gave
the artist as "The Coral Reefer Band".  No mention whatsoever of JB.

I'm wondering where the station got the song.  Was it their own creation, or
was a version of this actually released?  Hmm...  Any ideas, anyone?

the other Michael Utley/Robert Greenidge albums are "Jubilee" and "Heat."

"Heat" came out in 1988, but i just recently found it in
Turtle's over Christmas break. (some of the Greenidge/Utley
tunes also found their way onto some MCA Masters Series compilation
CD's).

speaking for myself, I think "Heat" is way cool. lots of steel
drums, etc. it sounds Carribean to me, but i'm no expert.

I'm for jb being inducted into the rock-and-roll hall of fame.  
However, I beleive the present status of the actual complex to
be built in cleveland is still in the sucking phase of growth.
That is sucking state tax dollars from education and other necessary
areas to build this thing.  I suppose the least they could do
is have some good music in there (jb's).  I don't think us 
"regular" people are involved in the nomination & election 
process.  Around here they only talk about the money needed 
for the project and their "pipe-dream" benefits.

I really doubt that tourists will flock to cleveland for the
rock-and-roll hall of fame.  I live 35 minutes from downtown 
cleveland and try to avoid the crime ridden place as much 
as possible.

Oh, definitely.  I've sometimes been humming a JB song, for example
"Growing Older But Not Up," and suddenly I jump musical and mental
tracks and find myself humming, for example, "The Weather Is Here."
I think he's got about four basic categories of musical style.  Maybe
I'll do a list of songs by category one of these days.

JB's music itself doesn't strike me as the most interesting part of
his songs.  The words, the instruments used, and the general "feel" of
the music, are the parts I like.  Though he does come up with some
nice surprises -- that little modulation in Banana Republic, for
instance (right after "spending those renegade pesos").  The bridge
section in Distantly in Love, especially the last line of it ("I can't
be the one to fill your blanks and empty spa-a-aces").  A lot of
Distantly in Love, for that matter.  And just about all of Island.

I spent the last couple weeks around the holidays out in northern

local small-town cafe for coffee every morning.  The day after Christmas,
after weeks of Muzak Christmas carols, we went into this little cafe
and what did I hear on the speaker just as we walked in the door?

As I make my way through an ordinary world I will try to survive. -Duran Duran

	It is difficult for me to understand why I so intently cling on to JB's
music.  My musical taste range through the spectrum of music.  I listen mostly
to "modern rock" (progressive,industrial,alternative).  Buffett is always in
the tape deck.  Some bands though strike a cord in my "soul"; this is the only
way to describe it.  The substanance for me is that I to am looking for 
survival in an ordinary world. _Tales_From_Margaritaville_ was (IMHO) the
epitomy of understanding what he is living and saying.  Carpe Deim!  
	Dead_Poets_Society_ gives me the same warm fuzzies.  I am twenty
and I KNOW there is more than this!  So I'll just keep dreamin' thoughts that
are in my brain and wait; waiting for my oportunity to seek out Magaritaville.
	JB's anti-stress attitude is the way I (live,try to live) my life.  
Back in high school I was voteed "most mellow."  Resistance Is Futile!  YES,
the real world is confining and stressing but for me JB is stress management.
SO is the B52s, Police, Eagales, Nine inche Nails, DM, and Mancini, effective
for stress reduction.(IMHO)  The ordinary world WILL NOT kill my spirit!
	There is a substanance in his music I need to survive.  I need to 
know there is a better place than this one and the struggle for the ideal
(Magaritaville) is the meaning of my life.

okay, so the rock hall of fame won't be built in cleveland.  the idea
is to get jb nominated.  so after calling the coconut telegraph, i find
that jb's management company is located in L.A.  so if there is 
anybody reading this group in L.A. and your interested in getting
jb's name into consideration for the rock hall of fame, you should call
hk management  (310)-967-2300.  you could ask them if they know what the
qualifications are for being nominated.

The album you are referring to is called "Mad Music" and it came out in
1986.  There is an excellent steel drum version of African Friend on the
album, but no Creola.  I recommend the album highly.

Greenidge and Utley put out at least one other album, but I don't remember
the name.  I listened to it once and it was much different from the first
album; more "new age" and less "Caribbean."  In fact, you'll probably
have to look in the new age section in the record store to find their
albums.
