No really Brian… tell us what you think!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love you… you love me… we’re just one happy Femmes family…
uh, oh … ahem… excuse me … I was just having a moment…
See this new song I heard the Femmes do this weekend just left me
feeling all warm and fuzzy…
The music seemed familiar but I couldn’t quite place it.
It was a shorter tune – along the lines of Dahmer or Mother Reagan.
Heavy, deep bass (like the bass chords on Country Death song –
I don’t play so that’s the only way I know to describe it :o)
Heavy drums too (Guy used the sticks not brushes)
Gordon played a bit too but the song belonged to Brian and Guy!
Ritchie on vocals. Lyrics in caps below he emphasized (you
know – like how he does on Mother Reagan)!
It went a little something like this:
People talkin’ about my music
It’s making me SICK!
You’d better get outta my way
Or I could be a real PRICK!
Don’t talk about my music!
Don’t talk about my music!
NOOO! Shut your MOUTH!
Don’t talk about my music!
Don’t talk about my music!
NOOO! Shut your MOUTH!
They talk about the CD
They say it SUCKS!
But if you don’t like the Femmes
Why don’t you get FUCKED! (roar of applause from audience)
Don’t talk about my music!
Don’t talk about my music!
NOOO! Shut your MOUTH!
Don’t talk about my music!
Don’t talk about my music!
NOOO! Shut your MOUTH!
Here ends the lesson…

I can’t take credit for locating this article – Brian mentioned it on
stage Saturday night but I just remembered to go look for it. Here’s
what he had to say about it:
“They just wrote an article about us in the Milwaukee Journal. They
said we were old. The Femmes are old. We’re gonna do a song by someone
who’s much older than us. Let me tell you something – you’re never too
old too rock and roll. And if you suck being young ain’t gonna help
you!” (then they played Pos 4th Street)
-Pat. Says: Deanna included the entire article here, but since Rob
already sent in a link to it, I’ve snipped it out in the
interest of space. If you want to read it (and you should),
go there. Now, back to Deanna–
Everyone repeat after me – if you don’t like the Femmes, why don’t you
get FUCKED! Very good!
Now send an email to that effect to Mr. Dave Tianen:

Thanks for your support!

RE: Hunka Bunka and The First Time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, my school is nuts, eh? I haven’t been in this ring of people for
so long. But i just skipped Sociology class so that I could sit here
in the comp lab and read all these back issues of AM. I feel so at
home all of a sudden. A show at Hunka Bunka’s? I know that place,
I’m from Pompton Lakes, NJ. Sayerville is like right around the
corner! Neat, maybe I’ll take the godot down there and look for
friends to go with. Umm, let’s see here.
The first time I heard the femmes i was 14 I think. I was a working
at this Boy Scout camp as a Councelor in Training, which is a
wonderful idea that the boy scouts came up with to get some unpaid
labor. Actually come to think of it I think I dished out $50 from my
hard earned paper route money to go work for them that summer. Hmmmm…
Oh, right, anyway, so there I was at camp. I got put in the ecology
section where I met this kid named John Fiestra who knew everything in
the world about birds. He was a huge self-proclaimed dork and one of
the coolest kids that I have ever met in my life. So one day in
between talking about bird copulation and whatnot, he brings out this
CD. Low and behold, it’s the Violent Femmes. yeah! So anyway, yeah.
I thought it was great. brow brow brow. I bought it. brow brow brow.
Rich Kirshgeshner and I sat at the Red Barn, which was repainted green
by the color blind Order of the Arrow candidates (I don’t think any of
them made it at that particular ordeal), and listened to it while
inventorying the place and handing out shovels and toilet paper.
brow brow brow.
Wasn’t that a great story?
ok, bye

Sweet Misery and Question
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In “Sweet Misery Blues,” what is ‘drewery’? (can I buy you some
drewery or somethin, would you go out with me or somethin, etc.)
I don’t know what the actual words are and I won’t look them up because:
A. I’m at work now and don’t have them handy.
B. I like the words that I use.
C. My underwear is bunched-up.
D. All of the above.
Answer: D
When I “sing” (and that term is applied loosely here) I say, “Can I buy
you some JEWELRY or somethin’…”
My question to pose would be: “Do the three of you ever disagree on
something to the point of having a huge argument and getting really
pissed off?” You just don’t hear about them having any problems like
that and I’d just like to know if its for real.

Okay all you people with video clips, and I know you are out there,
please I emplore you to stop hoarding your collection from everyone
else. Please do the good and decent thing and help out you fellow
Femmes fans. With only the slight charge of postage and one video
tape you could help out an entire list of people who are dying to see
some live Femmes footage. If the money is what you are worried about
I would be glad to help, just let me know. Please I beg you in love,
honor, truth and the Violent Femmes to take the time to send you
video to the collection, we need your help.
