here’s a quote for everyone: “I always thought that I was different,
I always thought that that was good…” from More Money Tonight [by
the Femmes of course]

Also, In response to John’s [aka Noidless] request for “dreams about
the femmes”: I had a dream that I married Gordan. I had this dream
the night of the only VF concert i went to. Does anyone know if he’s
married anyways? does anyone know the ages of all the members? Is
there anyone from Rhode Island who likes the Femmes besides me?
Please help me answer these burning questions… either e mail me at
soon because i’m changing services soon…. or
post the answers on the digest. Have a great day and be happy and be
yourself always [however freaky it may be 🙂 ]

> do you have the lyrics to Day After Day and American Music?
The lyrics to all the CD’s as well as Color Me Once (from the Crow
soundtrack) are available on the Femmes webpage at
http://www.gl.umbc.edu/~mmerry2/femmes.html

BTW- you may want to look up Day After Day as ‘Add It Up’, because that
is the song’s name…

Subject: Take Two… (for my heartache)

Hi! I tried sending a message to the ROCK digest a week or 2 back, but it
still hasn’t appeared, so I’m trying again…
Having only been a Femmes Fan for about a year and a half, I’ve still got
quite a few unanswered questions, &I’m wondering if anyone can enlighten
me on these??
1. Who is Dahmer?
2. What exactly is Blister In The Sun about?? (i have my own theory, but
i won’t post it yet for fear of embarrassment and ridicule!)
3. Does anyone know if any of the Femmes are diagnosed with Bipolar
Disorder (manic depression)? I’ve been finding out a lot about the
disorder lately and it’s just struck me how well their music seems to
“fit” a manic depressive personality…
4. When oh when are they coming to Australia?????

That’s about all I can think of for now. Eagerly awaiting your responses,
blah blah blah…

>Back to the Rock
>CD… a friend of mine and i have decided that we have ADD IT UP #2 on
>this CD…. does anyone else have it?

Yeah, I got the ROCK CD. It is just purely Amazing. I still have no clue what you mean by “ADD IT UP #2” though

Remmeber what I said last episode kids. This digest is something you should all read and enjoy because you owe it to each other and to your loved ones. So write messages and have a good day….

sorry, i’m just rambling……..
