ISSUE: 10

Eleven actually came out before this one. We waited a great deal
of time for this one while attempting to unscramble it with a sector
editor. This was going to be our second 80 column issue, and our
first Amiga issue, but I guess it's back to the old 8bit atari.

Oh well. ()()()()()()()()()()()

A lot of people are complaining about the ascii formatting of my
T-Philes. Most people ask what kind of commodore, err, computer I
use. Yes, I have an old 8bit atari, but that isn't the problem at
all. I found out an hour ago that it's my modem. And my dip
switches look like this:

>-----------------<
alligator : alligator
clip : clip
bell
wire.

AND I'M NOT TOUCHIN 'EM UNLESS SOMEONE LENDS ME A 12 OR 24
HUNDRED BAUD MODEM IN CASE I SCREW IT UP BIGTIME.

The only other complaint I'm hearin, is the 40 column format.
I'm sorry, but until EVERY computer hosts 80 columns I will
publish at 40 columns. If yo want an 80 column issue, get out your
favorite text editor or word processor.

At any rate, if you find yourself unable to read these issues,
try downloading them another way, or from another board. Some
sysops have changed the format using some program that's out there.
When I find out what the name of the program is, I'll publish it here,
and/or publish names of boards now and then where it's formatted
properly.

FLASH!!! WHO IS THE BAND THAT DID THE REMAKE OF LED ZEPPELIN'S
"LIVIN LOVIN MAID"? Sounds like Fatboys, but it sounds awesome.

NOTAS MUSICAS!!!
--- -------- --- ----- -------
The official ATI music section.
--- -------- --- ----- -------
To the tune of "Frito Bandito" commercial:
Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye.
Your mother sucks chrome
off a bumper hitch.

When stuck between two lousy choices ie: Bush/Duke, US/SU,
Coke/Pepsi, McDonalds/Burger King-- I always say choose BEER

Then instead of having to come up with an explaination, simply
say, "Dunno, I was cocked".

"Little" Steven Van Zandt told me last April that SPIN was really
about the only worthwhile RockRag to check out any more. I guess he
was just as angry with Hit Parader, Cream, and Rolling Stone as I was.
I didnt notice so obviously until this month. (sept 88 issue) (the
one with Traci Chapman on the cover... you know, the black chick
with the nappi hair)

Anyways, here's a few thoughts from various musicians I decided
to highlight for you in case you cant get out and steal a copy or
buy it maybe. (I did)

HOLLY NEAR: If you write a generic peace song that just talks
about peace really propose solutions or if you put forward some
kind of analysis of what is causing war or racism or sexism.

You saw that when Little Steven was doing much more specific
things about south africa. It was alright to feed the Africans, but
when we talked about actually wanting the Africans to liberate
themselves and take control of their own countries, then it was less
of a hit than the humanitarian concept of just feeding the poor
African people.

BILLY BRAGG: For some artists, being political is what sells
their record, for good or bad. Certainly my audience is based on
political stuff. Nobody ever asks me what guitar strings I use or
what I was doing in my next video. They all want to know when I am
going to think of a good rhyme for "socialism".

PETER GABRIEL: I really hope young people get a sense that they
CAN make a difference in what is going on. I think that is the most
important thing-that they dont feel victims of the world; that they
feel in charge of the world, because it's theirs to inherit.

NONA HENDRYX: to me, the basic problem is to continue. Not only
for the artist to do it but the audience or the people who are
listening to stay involved. Not only on the large level, but on the
small level, in your community, your neighborhood, your state.

MERLE HAGGARD: was always necessary. From the time I was in the
fourth, 5th grade, it would be on my report cards, only the teachers
would call it staring out the window. But what I was doing was trying
to write songs.

JACKSON BROWN: A door was kicked open with Band Aid and Live Aid
so that you saw a little bit of the rest of the world. Then the door
opened a little further when you saw that there was apartheid in south
africa. Now the door has really been kicked wide open because you see
that our government is involved in a lot of things like selling arms
to Iran, trading arms for hostages, and diverting money illegally to
wars that really can only be called private wars now.

LITTLE STEVEN: In the media, that's where the battle is. that's
where the communication is going on -- where the public opinion is
going to be effected. That's were education is going to take place.

Any of you who attended the Rutgers Conventin last spring will
remember the seminar called Media, Modem, and Music put on by Abbie
Hoffman, Marc Greenberg, and Little Steven. They dealt with a
revolution in the music industry, (and moreso the WHOLE media
industry) saying a major change was on its way. These quotes, and
many others in last month's SPIN just grabbed my attention, and made
me think that change might be already powerfully on its way.
(especially if you heard any of Traci Chapman's other (pronounced
"not played on the radio statons)) songs.

At any rate, I didnt mean for this article to make sense as a
whole. It was more or less a collage, of musical stuff that might
get you grabbin your acoustic; or hopefully your million watt marshall
stack. cause this shit has GOT to get out. s/ prime.

FAH-Q'S CORNER.................

Well here we are in Indianapolis. ATI had to go on vacation and
just get away from the local secret service... I mean the police.
This place is great. I am checking for 1800 diverters from my hotel
room.

You can do all kinds of schitt from a hotel room phone. When we
checked in they never asked for ID so I told them I was Phillip
Regular. They gave us a room in the exec section when I told them
I ran a newspaper. The room cost 33 a night with a bottle of wine.
Well to get back to the phone. In this hotel they have a system that
can dial direct to another room, just by dialing a 3 digit number.

Well when I checked in the clerk told me I had to dial 0 and tell
the desk I wanted an outside line. Well there is no dialtone on these
fones, so i must be dead til you dial a #. Well I was in 136, and my
friends were in 135. I dialed their # to tell them to wake up. When
they hung up I got a dialtone. I dialed 0 for the desk but instead
I got an operator from Indiana Bell. I called the office to get a
printout of all the calls from this room and they said there WERE no
calls. I don't know how that happened but I'm uploading this phile
from the fone in my room right now and I'm not paying for it, I can
assure you.

rosto

We found the rastafarians here in Indy. They are hanging around
the courthouse handbilling. I lost mine, but it said along the lines:
laws for people and the constitution grants freedom of religion, and
their religion called for weed. So they should be able to use it in
religions practice. They have been fighting for reform for 5 years
here in Indy because there is a big order of Jamaicans and others who
practice here in Indy.

?

I asked crash to marry me lastnite. She said yes. We will tell
you when the wedding is. If I get everything set and get an apartment
and stuff, the Prime Anarchist'll be the best man. I havent told him
yet, so you know before he does.

Goodbye from Indy the next trip will be to Hawaii on my honeymoon
so listen for the hula issue.

Fah-Q
Live from INDY.

Oh, the speed limit here is 65. For those of you who live in a
65 zone, the cops'll let you get away with 75-80 most of the time.
They set their radar at 82 so you have a 17 mph leeway.

bye

Saw a neat ad on TV for Citibank (criminals they are!!!)

It was a customer discussing her card's abuse, and how helpful
citi-corpse was thru it all. They told her she wasnt responsible for
the $200 Amigas, sneekers, fonesex, etc, that likely showed up on
her fonebill.

"Had it been another company besides citibank, it would've been
ME doing the talking..."

Ha.

As if some other company would be different. Gimme a break. YOU
ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE 1st $50 OF FRAUD AND THAT'S IT!!!

To report a lost or stolen card, call 1-800-336-0046. I say call
them at least once a day. Make up some names and addresses.

"I dont remember the account #; can you look it up?"

FLASH!!! I JUST DIALED IT AT 5AM AND GOT NO ANSWER. GAVE UP
AFTER 130 RINGS. IMAGINE THAT. MY CARD GOT STOLEN AND I CAN'T GET
AHOLD OF THEM TO CANCEL IT. GIVES MY BURGLAR THAT EXTRA TIME TO PLAY
AROUND WITH my CARD!!!

Put those detectives to work.

SUGGESTION OF THE MONTH: above cigarette machines and stuff in

About 4 months ago I ran a dial-a-joke with one of the PAP phone
lines. Every day I put up a new joke or two and it was pretty radical.
I had some weird responses I'll tell you.

There was one subtle one where I spoofed an operator and assumed
everyone Dial a Joke. All of our jokes are currently busy, but if
you please hold, the next available joke will be right with you.
Guess what?

These three girls waited there for half an hour for the "next
available joke". My machine got to eavesdrop on a 30 minute
conversation between these 3 girls about goldfish, boys, money,
school, and assorted other boring stuff

Well this one takes the cake, and I've decided to reprint the
transcr you. This one is NOT 30 minutes, it's just 3 minutes, cause
I switched my machine over after that 30 minute fiasco.

This girl (they sounded like navy wives) had her friend call my
machine on three-way, and after the beep, they started gabbin about
the machine. She's really creative. the girl gave me credit for 3
jokes I NEVER once put on my machine. I guess she couldnt remember
what the jokes were, so she made them up.

My machine message that day went: "You have reached Lingering
Linguini Pasta Shop. Flour you doing? Dough go away, we'll be right
back. Just leave your macaroni on medium high heat; and we'll return
the flavor. Thanks for cooking. Ravioli. Ha. I kill me.

Here's what they said. (southern accents) "It's paaaaaaaasta."
"nice, huh? The last one? He changes it every now and again, ok? Last
one I called. He goes-- he was singin about the EB's. You know. Bein
on strike? He goes EB'ers, boy this is the pits, and if you dont
believe me, you can eat this shiiiiiiiiiiit."

'N then he was singin, n he goes well this is the story that's
all I have to tell, n if y'all dont like it, you can all go to hell.
(she's laughin hysterically now)

Where did you get this numbuh?

It was on this bank. The bank of barney? And someone stuck it on
the ban of barney. So I said what the hells dialajoke, so I ripped it
off 'n brought it home.

And anyway, he was talkin about it. and it sounded cute, right?
so I said, well, damn. I'm gonna call this number every now and then
and find out what he does, cause, see? he changed it again. He
changed it wver, cause last time it was the EB'ers, and this one was
about Pasta. I wonder wht the next one's gonna be. hahahaha.

I like the ending though. God I kill myself.

Ha! I kill myself. hehehe

Ravioli, heh heh heh.

Anyway, it was cute. This cute little talkin machine. He
changes it every time that makes the secone-- or third, time he's
changed it. Oh, and one, he was talkin about his wife. He goes,
Oh boys, bat down the hatch, I'm gonna go see my wife and get me
some snatch. And I'm goin Oh my gawwwwwwwwwwwwwd. I let Chuck
listen to that one; he wuz laughin? And he expects you to leave a
message after hearin that.

that's silly.

I'd like to know who he is.

Oh, he's stupid. I coulda done something to that and made a
hundred bucks; but I turned it down.

what did you do?

<Then the 3 minute message limiter cuts em off>

That drove me crazy. They called early in the morning when I
was just starting to wake up too. And I couldnt figure out what was
goin on. But when I played it back I figured out one had the other
on 3way, and they had no idea the machine was recordin them talkin
about it.

What a scream.

This has been ATI ten. Keep in mind. eleven and 12 came out
before this issue, but this was meant to be ten, so we're keepin it
that way. Hope you
