Okay, okay. Here are the answers you've all been waiting for. Hope you
weren't losing sleep or anything...

1. What is "Down" about? Even though at first listen this may appear to be a
song about the Clinton administartion, it's actually about a man who's about
to be taken to prison or put to death or sent away or something equally
forlorn who's beseaching his beloved to remind someone very close to him that
"we all fall down." Quite cinematic, really.

2. Who's the "What" Girl on "Phone Call #27"? Rosemary Daugherty, an
all-around marvelous person/artist extraodinaire/former girlfriend of mine.
She's the one responsible for the whimsical artwork used in the
Mellowdramatic Wallflowers (Admiral Twin's earlier incarnation) bio book
which you can see on the Mellowdramatic Wallflowers home page.

3. Who recites "Creepshow Fog" the first hidden track on Unlucky? That would
be Mark Carr, our swarthy and talented bassist. He's reciting a bit of
tongue-in-cheek beat poetry I wrote for my very first band, Beatnik Pirates.
Way back in the '80s, I used to recite that poem whilst my guitarist at the
time (Dallas Koehn, still one of my best friends) would play avant garde
"stuff." Mark found the poem scrawled on a scrap piece of paper on my dresser
while he was recording vocals for "I'm No King" and read them in a really
disturbingly funny way, unaware we were taping him at the time. We knew it
had to go on the CD somehow, so we made it our hidden track. On that note,
those of you who own Continental Breakfast (the second Mellowdramatic
Wallflowers release) might want to contemplate the idea that there's more
than meets the ear on that release as well...

Any more questions? Fire away. I'm here for you, kids.

When do you guys leave for Montreal? I would imagine you guys are going to
be heading out soon. In that case, have fun. Knock their socks off (I'll
be there in Montreal and Great Woods, look for me I'll be the one with the
binoculars, waving ;0)
I hope you guys have a great time.

Have fun,

***BZZZZZ****

I'm sorry, "Jarrod of Admiral Twin," that is _incorrect_.

You lose.

Now, I realize you may sincerely believe that your explanation
of "Down" is correct. It's possible even that the writer (Brad?)
of the song believes you are correct as well. It may be that
everyone in and around the band has taken a vote and decided that
this is, in fact, _the_ definitive explanation of the song "Down."

But it is not.

While the scenario above may have inspired the lyrics, the lyrics
themselves are much too elusive and misty to hammer back down to
the original scenario. The song is no longer about _a_ guy in
_a_ situation anymore than The Raven is about a bird or that
silly Ogden Nash poem is truly about an Elephant trying to use
1-800-COLLECT. Like any good art, they have transcended their
initial meaning. To try to collect the scattered emotives and
imagery and cork it all back into the original bottle, well...

It's impossible to complete, and wrong to attempt it. If you
love something, set it free... otherwise we might as well all
go back to middle school art class and have some stuffy old
lady tell us what the Mona Lisa is _really_ smiling about once
and for all. And even if she's right, is she really right?

That's all fine and good, and I would have to say I agree with you for the most
part. Artists are just tools for creation, after all. They themselves don't
always realize the full import of what they are making. But when an artist is
asked to explain lyrics he (or his bandmate) has written, he can only expound
upon what he was thinking when the lyrics were written. How can he know more?
This doesn't in any way invalidate the listener's own vision of what the lyrics
REALLY mean...of their fullest meaning, etc. But neither should the listener
say the original meaning is invalid, either...because, quite frankly, it's not.

And besides...the song is ACTUALLY about United Dairy Workers strike of 1906 in
which 185 striking milkmen were severly besotted and scratched profusely about
the face and neck by herds of angry housewives.

What do you think of THAT Little Miss Hoity Toity Arteeest? Huh? HUH?

Well... He (or she) _could_ give some vague, elusive answer about
the personalized truth of each work and how it's up to the listener
to decide for themselves what's right and wrong. That inability to
commit one way or the other _is_ what makes this country _great_,
after all.

Not to mention you don't shatter little girls' musical worlds that
way...

There is a painting of a man and a woman seated at a table. The woman is
crying and red-faced and the man holds his pale face in his hands. The room
is filled with shadows.

What is the meaning of the painting?

...The man accidently left the door open on the woman's snake cage. All
four of her large pet pythons escaped. One of the snakes ate Hammel, the
woman's Pot Belly Pig. The other three snakes got into the wall space
and knocked out the wiring. The man has just finished explaining the
tragedy to the women.
It's obvious isn't it?

I was going to guess that the woman was severly sunburned and in a lot of pain,
the man had hypotension and thought he was going to pass out, and it was
getting dark outside, no lights in the house.
hehe - just a wild guess.

Now, now... let's not get snotty and holier than thou about men. There are a
lot of good reasons for them. Only a few of which I can type here without
making others blush...
1. They sometimes smell good.
2. They usually can lift heavy things.
3. They feel better than a tattered old teddy bear or a wornout pillow.
4. They like it when you compliment them.
5. Sometimes one of them can make you have that mushy-tickley-stupid feeling in
the pit of your innards.
6. They can split things with you.
7. Most of them give great hugs.
8. They're male.
9. A very large number of them are somewhat handsome. Beautiful even.
10. They grow up to form groups like Hanson and ADMIRAL TWIN. (sorry, cheap
attempt at being supportive.)

I really do love men, ususally more than is sometimes good for me LOL (but
that's another story heh heh). But my favorite quote about what Men are good
for was spoken by Murphy Brown. It goes something like this:

"We need to have an entire planet with women *only*...and only one man who
would open jars for us. Oh, and another one to fix the plumbing."

Well! I have just read this whole entire topic and I have to say...what the
hell was the REAL meaning of "Down" anyhow?

We digress, we digress.

Nonetheless, the female gender *would* survive longer than the male gender in a
world comprised only of a single gender. After all, we do operate out of both
sides of our brains and we (unlike the male gender) have a multi-track mind, so
we are constantly crossing the finish line in some area of our lives. Very
satisfying, indeed. However; we are just wacky enough to crave the company,
comfort, passion and pain that only those of the male gender can deliver in
their own special male-gender way.

Earth is getting pretty sparse lately, I am thinking that this venusian needs
to find a martian who can fly her to the moon. I won't even mind if he is sort
of greenish looking, just so long as he smells good sometimes.

You can tell a person's sense of humor by what he laughs at.
You can tell a person't integrity by what he doesn't laugh at.

Hmmm. April left us with a snicker and a tuck of her head. I can't believe
she doesn't have more to say on the subject.

Marci, we've got to get her talking!! You know it will be interesting :o)

Oh, I know that! Maybe she needs a new topic. Lets see... April, what is your
opinion on the effect of flatulating alligators on the ozone?

>~~~~~~~~~~
>T-Town Babs

Actually, Brian and I were discussing this yesterday. Some doofus in my
husband's office was trying to tell me that Florida is running out of
electricity, I told Brian about it and somehow we got started talking about
flatulating alligators.

1. Never tape any of her body parts together.
2.The correct answer to, "Do I look fat?" is never, ever, "Yes."
3. Ditto for "Is she prettier than me?"

ROTFL! Can't say I ever heard that one. I like Margaret's take on it too.

If you eat your lunch before the bus arrives, can you still ride the bus or do
you have to wait to catch a train?

5. Her cooking is excellent.
6. That isn't an excuse for you to avoid cooking.
