[csaa-forum] ALP 101

[Melissa Butcher]

With the greatest love and respect folks are we not being a little bit
'ivory tower' here? If anyone is angsting about 'the masses' seeming
inability to listen to any of our words of wisdom some of the recent
comments on the list might give an indication as to why they tune out. 

Cheers
Melissa B. (who thinks 'Bat out of Hell' is a classic, loves 'Kath and
Kim', send up or not, owns not Freedom Furniture but even worse ...
IKEA, is quite partial to Fondue, and despite her occassional white
trash behaviour is still capable of the odd critical thought).

I read an interview or Q&A at some stage where Latham was asked about
his favourite musical artist...
His reply (much to my own personal horror) was 'Meatloaf'.
When Ian says...'Maybe Kath and Kim is not such a sendup/comedy after
all?'
Well I can only say with much sadness that it is not.
Which is why I can't watch it because there are some things so spot on
that it makes me ill.
Latham lost the battle for white trash supremacy - WWE showdown style.
I loved Sally's

Don't forget the Hillsong Church CDs.
Great music for the showdown (WWE style) between Good and Evil currently
being orchestrated in Iraq.
If I was part of the Labor machine I would have gotten Latham to 'find
Jeeeeeeeeesuss' and quick smart.
OK, maybe not. What to do?
