Subject: Re: Semi Fanatic related
>On Fanatic, and I noticed the guy was wearing a yarmulke. Also, at the
beginning of Hava Nagila, Ben says somethign like "that clapping reminds me of
a song I used to hear when I was growing up." So, what those two statements
are leading to is A) are there any other Jewish listees, and B) is Ben Jewish,
or was his dad or mom a bar mitzvah singer?<
I noticed this too while watching FANatic! You should have seen me.
I was going crazy. IT was so cool to see a fan a cool band on MTV for once
and to add to it, he was Jewish! I thought that kicked! So yes, (A) I am
Jewish too :) and (B) I was wondering the same thing!

Ummmmm...she said, and I quote, "You parents are idiots, your siblings hate
you and the news is a conspiracy." THAT got the point across????? I confess
that it did give me a good chuckle, but that was about it.

Yeah, I think you're right on with the Vince Guaraldi reference. I have his
Charlie Brown Christmas CD in front of me as I type. As I was playing it this
last Christmas, my wife noticed how similar BF5 are to the Guaraldi music. if
you ever see it available, it's definitely worth a listen. (Glad someone else
noticed it too--lets me know I'm not alone.)

Subject: Ben Folds
Hey everyone!
Can someone please set me straight: Is Ben Folds married or not? I heard
he got married in December 1996, but that he's either separated or
divorced. My friend believe's that he's still married though? Someone
set me straight!
See ya
Nat

<<Also last week as I was leaving a tute and these 2 guys were coming
in the room saying, 'Give me my money back, give me my money back'.
Now I wonder where they picked that up from!>>
I know, the other day this kid behind me was talking to this kid and
he was like, "have you ever heard that song, "song for the dumped", by
ben folds five?" The kid answers no. "It's funny as hell," he says.
Then he goes on the sing the song. Also, my 10 cousin told me that
kids in his class like to sing songs with the least amount of lyrics,
and he said is just so happened that they were singing "SFTD" one
day.. (hehe)

hey all
i don't know about anyone else but i subscribed to the 'chair to chat to
other people who are as obsessed as i am about bff. it seems lately that
most people are too concerned with what this person wrote, or bitching
about something else, completely off-topic. who cares if jess voiced her
opinion, does there have to be so much bitchiness? let's just get back
to the fact that ben, darren and robert make fucking awesome music and
discuss that ok?
