To get Soundgarden, i need money. Cd's to listen to, then i need money to buy a cd player, or then i might want to buy a tape deck to listen on the radio. So for me, I need money to be happy.

Monnica, i think you missed the point that Jen was trying to make. I see it like this: Your happiness levels do not necessarily increase as your cash levels increase. So; rich, wealthier, financially stable (whatever you want to call them) people aren't always jolly, they don't necessarily know the meaning of life and they don't necessarily have good relationships (with friends, family or lovers). They haven't 'got it all' because they have money. Yes yes, we know everyone needs money to survive. We know you would be lost without a few dollars in your pocket for your day to day needs. That's not what the saying implicates! Are you all just using it literally to bug people by being difficult or something?? I just thought this was universally understood.. really a fundamental of life.

You say: 'Money=Happiness (not total happiness, but makes you happy)' you're close but oh so far.. we're talking about real happiness. Fulfillment.. not this song makes me smile-happiness, but everything is so perfect i could die today and not feel my life was lacking in anything-happiness. You sign your letter with "Peace" but it means nothing more to you than just being something that sounds 'hip'.. or maybe you think it's witty because of your handle.. arghhh I give up.. It's not my job to explain these sorts of moral theories to you. It's exhausting and pointless. Believe me this is the last i will say on this topic. I hope everyone understands what i mean one day, though.. Maybe you'll make a gift for someone with your own hands (spending $0) and when you give it to them they'll shed tears of happiness.. It will change your life.

By insulting the person's intelligence you think you can change their opinion, when you actually made a better point at the end by listing something positive that you could do without money... <<"Maybe you'll make a gift for someone with your own hands (spending $0) and when you give it to them they'll shed tears of happiness.. It will change your life.">> See, that's nice without being insulting.... If you would remember back to your pre-school days where they said "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," maybe you could get somewhere without getting people upset with you. Just because you have an opinion about something does not mean that people have to agree with you, and your lack of realizing that really shows your immaturity. -Adriana ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 08:30:47 -0400 From: michele Subject: Re: almighty dollar Yeah, you need money to survive ,to support yourself but inner happiness can't be bought. > "Can't Change Me" is being played on Radio 3 in Spain. They have a webpage too now if only they had this station Streaming on Real Player, dammit. That is what makes things interesting watching bands change & evolve. It shows you were they are at in their lives. Bands who don't change seem to be trying to be something they are not, like the rolling stones (since they were already brought up) for instance they seem to be trying to be in that young era again which is just boring to me. I bet the money isn't bad either. Wave Millions of dollars in their face most bands will rejoin because they are just about money which makes me sick.

I got some kick-ass stuff yesterday. Can we say Superunknown on blue vinyl? I know I can. hehe. Plus, something else that just surprised the hell out of me, The Day I Tried To Live single on 12" vinyl. Track listing is TDITTL, Like Suicide (acoustic) and kickstand live. It's black and on one side is the actual record and on the other is "One more time around might do it" printed in a circle on the record!! Isn't that awesome??? And it also came with a stencil (with the letters still in) that was Soundgarden above Superunknown. Hell, I've never heard of this, much less seen it for five bucks in a CD tradeworld... So can I get some info on this? You know, how many pressed, how rare it is, how much its worth, blah blah blah. Thanks.
