Subject: Bush Video = Celebrity SR players?
Date: Sat, 8 Mar 1997 22:09:12 -0500
Has anyone else seen the new video for the song "Greedy Fly" by Bush (or
Bush-X to you Canadians)?

Is it just me, or does hat seem to have been influenced by the SR insect
spirits?
Lots of half insect people shots, gunfire, an swat team that looks more
corporate than public, etc.

Now this is probably just me reading a lot into a music video, but the
video matched a lot of the images in my head from years of running the
bugs.

Wonder if Gavin is a closet SR fan?
For that matter I wonder if there are any "celebrities" that RP?
Rumor has it that Robin Williams is a big fan of Games Workshop's Warhammer
40K game, but does SR have any famous players? (Other than FASAMike of
course! :-))

Enlighten me.

I think Michael Moorcock hangs out with the folks at GW. In a TV Guide
story and a television interview, Drew Carey talked about playing games
that were way too complex to explain. He seemed to be talking more about
wargames than rpgs, but it's still cool.

The male host of Singled Out, used to play that TSR game. (and what's
funny is, I used to watch that show everynight, now I can't remember
his name.)

Weezer has a song in which the singer talks about how he feels
safe in his garage doing the things he likes to do. Among the stuff in
there is a twelve-sided die and a Dungeon Master's Guide. So I guess
they're not out of munchy stage yet ;P
And there was a rumour going around last year that a Canadian rap
group had a song called twelve-sided die

Eh, his name is Chris Hardwick, or something. I wouldn't know since I don't
watch the show, though. I heard one of my friend's heard him answer a question
to "What is dorkier(or something), chess or Dungeons and Dragons?" He
replied with "I play both, screw you all!" That's all I have to say about
my pitiful television watching habits.
