Subject: (exotica) Fantastic Plastic Machine I guess it also owed to the subtropic temperatures and the incredibly enthusiastic Spanish audience, but the gig of Tanaka aka Fantastic Plastic Machine was the best live experience I have had this year. When many at the mediterranean Benicassim-open air were sick from all the Rock all the time by the likes of Suede, Charlatans and even Blur, he fired a broadside of electronic dancefloor hammers just in the right moment and with amazing impact. Pure excitement. For the first half hour of his gig he was god. DJing at its best! His secret? "Cheesy" melodies - - not always but every once in a while. Makes you smile. As for our own gig I can only say, it was so hot, I almost fainted in my bear-costume and Andreas Dorau, the singer, had a break-down after the concert. The organizer of the festival, some called him the Godfather, personally apologized to him for the weather... that's what I call megalomania!

I think Mr. Manilow likes to screw with people's heads in his interviews. I read one several years ago where he was raving about Tom Waits, and wishing he could sing like Tom. Which may give *us* mixed reactions, but imagine the straight-ahead, mainstream Manilow fan who reads the interview and says, "Oooo, Barry likes this -- I'll go buy it!" Or perhaps Manilow genuinely has hip tastes as a listener... but when it comes to his own career he knows upon which side of his bread the butter (or non-dairy substitute) is applied. I just remembered... a relative of mine works with a woman who has an over-the-top Manilow obsession. She claims that she's Barry's wife and uses her vacations for stalking excursions.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said Shatner had arrived at his home at about 10 p.m. PDT Monday night and found his wife, Nerine Kidd, unconscious in the swimming pool. ``He pulled her from the pool and called 911. He listened to the 911 operator's instructions and tried to perform CPR but he was unsuccessful,'' the spokesman, who identified himself as Officer Rhone, said in a telephone interview. ``The paramedics arrived at the scene and she was pronounced dead,'' he said. Rhone said there was no further information about the death and that an investigation was ongoing. Shatner, 68, is best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in the 1960s ``Star Trek'' television series. Kidd, 40, was Shatner's third wife. === "It's just my nature to do weird stuff." - Les Baxter Astroslut website: cuming soon! _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

(AP) -- John Dortch ``Booty'' Lewis Sr., a Goldsboro insurance executive whose World War II exploits were chronicled in part in the movie ``The Great Escape,'' died Sunday of pancreatic cancer. He was 84. Well before the United States entered World War II, Lewis joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and flew fabric-covered Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during Great Britain's darkest days of the conflict. Wounded and with his plane badly damaged on a mission over France, Lewis managed to get the aircraft back across the English Channel and crashed in the British countryside. Grounded by the RCAF because of extensive injuries, Lewis transferred to the U.S. Air Force. Later, leading a flight of P-39 Bell Airacobra fighters, he was shot down in North Africa and captured after eluding German troops in the desert for almost two weeks. He spent most of the next two years in Germany's Stalag Luft III. That was the prison camp from which prisoners of war tunneled to freedom in an escape later to be made into a movie, ``The Great Escape,'' starring Steve McQueen. Many of the exploits portrayed by McQueen were based on escape attempts and other activities by Lewis. RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif. (AP) -- Victor Mature, the brawny star of the 1940s and '50s who played Samson in ``Samson and Delilah'' and Doc Holliday in John Ford's ``My Darling Clementine,'' died Wednesday of cancer. He was 86. Tall, dark-haired and muscular, with heavy-lidded eyes and a full mouth, Mature earned the nickname ``beautiful hunk of man'' in films like ``One Million B.C.'' and ``Song of the Islands.'' While first making his name as a glamour-boy star with a devil-may-care attitude, he gradually gained more critical respect in the late 1940s in such films as ``Cry of the City'' and ``Kiss of Death.'' He appeared in musicals, Westerns, comedies, historical epics and melodramas. In ``My Darling Clementine,'' 1946, he was Doc Holliday to Henry Fonda's Wyatt Earp. The version of the fabled gunfight at the O.K. Corral is considered one of Ford's greatest films. Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 telling of the saga of Samson and Delilah cast Mature and Hedy Lamarr in the title roles. It was a smash hit. Among Mature's other films: ``The Shanghai Gesture,'' 1941, directed by Josef von Sternberg; ``My Gal Sal,'' 1942, with Rita Hayworth; ``I Wake Up Screaming,'' 1941, with Betty Grable; ``Wabash Avenue,'' 1950, again with Miss Grable; ``The Robe,'' 1953, as the slave Demetrius; a sequel, ``Demetrius and the Gladiators, 1954; and ``Chief Crazy Horse,'' 1954, with Mature in the title role. CARNIE WILSON'S OBESITY SURGERY IS LIVE ON-LINE By CATHY BURKE NY Post 10 AUG 99 ---------------------------------------------------- Singer and ex-gab show hostess Carnie Wilson, who's battled obesity all her life, is doing something drastic about it today - - live on the 'Net. In a procedure most people would find tough to stomach, Beach Boy Brian Wilson's 31-year-old daughter will go under the knife at 3 p.m. for a gastric bypass. On-line voyeurs can see it at http://www.adoctorinyourhouse.com. Wielding the scalpel on the former vocalist with the trio Wilson Phillips will be Dr. Alan Wittgrove, a specialist in the procedure. Doctors in New York yesterday applauded Wilson's courage in going public with her surgical battle of the bulge, and said the procedure, which has been done for over 10 years, has helped thousands of others. "It's important for people to be aware of this [procedure] as a valid treatment for the seriously obese patient," said Dr. Louis Aronne, medical director of the New York Presbyterian Center for Obesity Surgery. "Though it's not a miracle cure, there's evidence to support it as a reasonable treatment." The gastric bypass, to be performed in San Diego, will reduce Wilson's stomach to about the size of a thumb, and then attach it directly to the small intestine. As a result, Wilson won't be able to stomach the amount of food she used to eat. In addition, the food she eats will be expelled before it's fully digested. "The reason the surgery works is that it is forced behavior modification that goes everywhere with the patient," said Dr. Mitchell Roslin at the Maimonides Center for Obesity Surgery in Brooklyn. Aronne said most people lose an average of 60 percent of their excess body weight after the procedure. That means that if someone weighed 300 pounds, they'd lose 90 pounds. The hefty songbird - who's never revealed her actual weight - - wasn't commenting about her decision to have the surgery on the information highway. But she has spoken often, and emotionally, about her weight problem. "I'm fat. I'm a big girl," she said in a 1996 interview with "Radiance" magazine. "It's my feelings about myself that I think about. I feel attractive, I present myself well ... That image has been good for heavy people. I'm proud of that. I feel like a spokesperson for heavier women." She also has said her size has been a source of blatant discrimination, including a time in 1993 when a kid asked his father, "Why is she so fat?" "It took me right back to my childhood and being teased, of thinking I was no good," she recalled. - ----- MailStart Plus - http://www.mailstartplus.com Consolidate Your Mailboxes Into an Organized, Filtered, Spell-Checked, Anywhere, Anytime WebBox # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #475 *****************************
