i am offended by your inclusion of fayth over the much more horrendous
baltimore. i mean, that just seems a no-brainer.

Well, "Walking with You" was included, which is cheesier than Baltimore.
The worst part is that Aimee didn't include "Heart Attack at 23". Had
she done that, I would have had an immensely difficult chore in choosing
between that and "Down by the Seaside".

But "Down by the Seaside" isn't even a song. ;) It's just
Tori yelping to a beat. And how can you resist the rockin' chorus of:
"If I have a heart attack at 23,
I'm lovin' U 2 much.....
If I have a heart attack at 23,
Wave bye byeeeeeeee."
Heart Attack at 23 is every bit as good as Fayth. We're
talking about some real kick ass songs here.
Rockingly,
Hyoun

It was all in the timing. Women in rock are popular in cycles. Had
YKTR been released a couple of years earlier, it would have been
revolutionary, but in the late 80's there had been plenty of crap just
like YKTR and people were tired of it.

If she were on survivor, she would be kicked off immediately because I
don't watch that crap.
> 3. what colour is tori's parachute?
Black and White and Red all over, because I don't read those self help
books.

Am I the only person in the world who likes Baltimore? I think it is
pretty darn nifty in fact.

Yeah, I mean it's not a pop anthem, it's a "city advertising jingle",
and not bad at its job.

Vinyl over leather, and Stonehenge was in danger of being
trampled by a dwarf. (A matter of scale). They ought to
have killed the drummer (on stage, if possible).

She would arrange the purchase of the island, and kick the
rest off. Personally, I would hope she can ferment a mean
brew from a coconut. [There's got to be some use for the
damn things].
>> 3. what colour is tori's parachute?
Prada only work in charcoal and black, darling.
