how does this sound?:
On February 2nd, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission passed a ruling barring all musicians under the age of 21 from performing in any venue where minors are prohibited. This ruling violates not only the law but also the rights and livelihoods of underage musicians.

In an effort to raise awareness and support, pomn.com and McMennamin’s present the Barely Legal show, an event that showcases some of Portland’s best and brightest underage talent.

We challenge you to stand up to the OLCC and say, “Let them play!”

the manager of this one band, led by a 16 year old guitar virtuoso, was really bothered by the whole go-go dancer idea. so we waited till he left and unanimously voted to have go-go dancers.

virtuoso is probably a strong word for this kid. really all he does is regurgitate stevie ray vaughn. but he does it really well.

Subject: I'm losing patience with my neighbours, Mr Bush.

Sunday January 26, 2003
The Observer

I'm really excited by George Bush's latest reason for bombing Iraq:
he's running out of patience. And so am I!
For some time now I've been really pissed off with Mr Johnson, who
lives a couple of doors down the street. Well, him and Mr Patel, who
runs the health food shop. They both give me queer looks, and I'm
sure Mr Johnson is planning something nasty for me, but so far I
haven't been able to discover what. I've been round to his place a
few times to see what he's up to, but he's got everything well
hidden. That's how devious he is.

As for Mr Patel, don't ask me how I know, I just know - from very
good sources - that he is, in reality, a Mass Murderer. I have
leafleted the street telling them that if we don't act first, he'll
pick us off one by one.

Some of my neighbours say, if I've got proof, why don't I go to the
police? But that's simply ridiculous. The police will say that they
need evidence of a crime with which to charge my neighbours.

They'll come up with endless red tape and quibbling about the rights
and wrongs of a pre-emptive strike and all the while Mr Johnson will
be finalising his plans to do terrible things to me, while Mr Patel
will be secretly murdering people. Since I'm the only one in the
street with a decent range of automatic firearms, I reckon it's up to
me to keep the peace. But until recently that's been a little
difficult. Now, however, George W. Bush has made it clear that all I
need to do is run out of patience, and then I can wade in and do
whatever I want!

And let's face it, Mr Bush's carefully thought-out policy towards
Iraq is the only way to bring about international peace and security.
The one certain way to stop Muslim fundamentalist suicide bombers
targeting the US or the UK is to bomb a few Muslim countries that
have never threatened us.

That's why I want to blow up Mr Johnson's garage and kill his wife
and children. Strike first! That'll teach him a lesson. Then he'll
leave us in peace and stop peering at me in that totally unacceptable
way.

Mr Bush makes it clear that all he needs to know before bombing Iraq
is that Saddam is a really nasty man and that he has weapons of mass
destruction - even if no one can find them. I'm certain I've just as
much justification for killing Mr Johnson's wife and children as Mr
Bush has for bombing Iraq.

Mr Bush's long-term aim is to make the world a safer place by
eliminating 'rogue states' and 'terrorism'. It's such a clever long-
term aim because how can you ever know when you've achieved it? How
will Mr Bush know when he's wiped out all terrorists? When every
single terrorist is dead? But then a terrorist is only a terrorist
once he's committed an act of terror. What about would-be terrorists?
These are the ones you really want to eliminate, since most of the
known terrorists, being suicide bombers, have already eliminated
themselves.

Perhaps Mr Bush needs to wipe out everyone who could possibly be a
future terrorist? Maybe he can't be sure he's achieved his objective
until every Muslim fundamentalist is dead? But then some moderate
Muslims might convert to fundamentalism. Maybe the only really safe
thing to do would be for Mr Bush to eliminate all Muslims?

It's the same in my street. Mr Johnson and Mr Patel are just the tip
of the iceberg. There are dozens of other people in the street who I
don't like and who - quite frankly - look at me in odd ways. No one
will be really safe until I've wiped them all out.

My wife says I might be going too far but I tell her I'm simply using
the same logic as the President of the United States. That shuts her
up.

Like Mr Bush, I've run out of patience, and if that's a good enough
reason for the President, it's good enough for me. I'm going to give
the whole street two weeks - no, 10 days - to come out in the open
and hand over all aliens and interplanetary hijackers, galactic
outlaws and interstellar terrorist masterminds, and if they don't
hand them over nicely and say 'Thank you', I'm going to bomb the
entire street to kingdom come.

It's just as sane as what George W. Bush is proposing - and, in
contrast to what he's intending, my policy will destroy only one
street.

Mrs Dr GB:
We don't take Brits seriously here either. Tony Bush has instilled in us all a sense of national ... not pride, as such. Oh, I know! Shame and embarrassment. That's what I meant.
(Wed Feb 26, 2003 - 5:05:08 pm)

Heruka:
in a cheap attemt at sounding independant and smart, you do nothing but kowtow Frogss and Krauts. whenether dear Tony is right or wrong, at least he stands for something.

Heruka:
the elite european bandagon "lets all hate the States and Gw" is passing by, time for the Brits to hop on board.
(Wed Feb 26, 2003 - 5:08:11 pm)

Mrs Dr GB:
He fucking does not! And there's the rub! Now if a person stands up for his beliefs then bully for them. Like Thatcher; I didn't agree with a single word that woman said. But by God she meant every word of that pap she came out with, and good for her. But Tony: urgh. He's standing up for what Bush believes in.
(Wed Feb 26, 2003 - 5:08:40 pm)

Mrs Dr GB:
I don't hate George Bush. He scares the crap out of me because he's not the ticket and yet they put him in charge of a country.

Mrs Dr GB:
And if Elvis is the King, how come he's buried in his own backyard, like a hamster?

The good news is, that Dubyah is a one term president. They've turned on him, whoever "they" are. Whenever you read articles about consumer confidence being at a nine year low, the writing is on the wall. That's how THEY got his father. I called it ringing the recession bell back then. I bet even FOX turns on him soon. You're good at reading between the lines in the media Heruka. See if you don't agree with me in the coming months. They've hung him out to dry.

we'll not discuss that. I missed KQC. I woke up from my 'hour' nap at 425.
