Femmes top the Charts! RE: Does Anyone Even Care Anymore? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LoDo Festival Info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ found this webpage, check it out: http://www.denverfestivals.com/lodo/lodohome.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whoopee! Femmes top the Charts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've waited years to say this, "The Violent Femmes have topped the charts!" Okay so it ain't Billboard kiddies but I'll savor it none the less. Keep downloading my friends! Let's get an original Femmes tune in the Top 20 songs this week! http://www.emusic.com CHARTS (as of 5/29/01) Top 20 Albums: 1) Violent Femmes Something's Wrong Top 20 Artists: 1) Elvis Costello 2) Eric Clapton 3) Violent Femmes Top 20 Songs: 1) Creedance Clearwater Revival Proud Mary 2) Eric Clapton Knocking on Heaven's Door 3) Isaac Hayes Theme from Shaft 4) Violent Femmes Every Breath you Take -ddearry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Does Anyone Even Care Anymore? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes, some old Violent Femmes fans are out here and do "receive" Pat's work! I enjoy reading the post but choose not to write anything. I was distressed to hear a few weeks ago some "females" were complaining about the band's name. What a shame. I know the Femmes music has got me through some mighty tough times in life. I end with Kiss off into the air!!!!! Kerri Kerr -Baltimore, Maryland bubblegum ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Does Anyone Even Care Anymore? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In reply to the person who asked " Does anyone even care any more?" Like many other diehard Femmes fans, I am also concerned about the lack of info and the seemingly chaotic course of events. But to ask if I care. You bet I do! And real happy to see that there is some activity and hoping that I can catch a show this summer at some point. I am hoping that they come to the West Coast or are playing in the Midwest this summer when I get there. Lets all hope that once the guys are rested they feel like touring again. For now, I am sure happy to see that they continue to play my favorite music.

An email from American Music???? Two whole emails this year - we're on a roll now ... Hell yeah I care. I must say that. I'm as confused as wisconsinsane is about what's going on with the guys though but I do care. So... keep buying tickets and going to shows and digging the music. What else can we do? About that new MP3 album from emusic -at least that's somethin new... that 12 step song is too much man... hits a little close to home maybe? But yeah... I know Gordon doesn't always write in the first person ... yeah right and monkeys might fly outta my butt TFK thefemmeking ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
