You could help George W. get re-elected again and again. Regrettably though, for me Ms. Hall remains a calculating, shrewd, immoral, heartless, greedy b*tch. But perhaps for some people these properties are assets? And one could even argue that bewitching Mr. Ferry was her only good deed, for as long as it lasted. When this muse turned into his mental nemesis, Mr. Ferry's inspiration seems to have become negative for a long time. Maybe from that point he became a man looking at the past in stead of the future. Since Mamouna I don't sense the grudge or regrets. I think he's - like in the song - "over her". Of course she's not to blame for all the hurt and suffering she's caused. But that doesn't make her nice.

She didn't need Ferry,she was already doing quite well. For those who don't know when she comes home she is very much in the charity spot-light & does her fair share of good things with her money. She still remembers where she got her start & I think trys to hold on to the Southern accent. Most people here don't have a real drawl as people are from every where. But when you hit the small little towns then you really hear the country twang.Dallas is so hip we are the fashion icon & now the movie industry likes coming here. You've always heard haven't you that beautiful women are in the South. Very true. Ferry chose to date her & also chose not to commit & Hall just moved on. So if his heart were broken, well?

How on earth could anyone hold a grudge: 1. against someone they don't know; 2. over an completely imaginary slight; 3. directed toward someone else they don't know?

There's no vendetta that I can see, so there should be no fear of a lawsuit. But just because someone does see the lighter side of things - which I can recommend to you if you've never tried it (I don't know you either, Colleen, but I think the fun of communicating is that people get to know one another a little better, if no one cuts it short of course) - that doesn't automatically mean he or she is a child you can reprimand whenever he or she says something that displeases you. You don't know me personally, do you? I'm really a peace-loving, tolerant, unbiassed, openminded guy. And I'm sure Jerry Hall is a wonderful, honorable human being. In particular I've enjoyed the more intelligent and insightful remarks and reviews of others, but I'm convinced that the few silly contributions of me and others now and then haven't interfered with any of them. Intelligence to my best knowledge has always mixed well with humour. And if the majority of your members disagree with that, then I KNOW I'm in the wrong place here. Sorry to annoy anyone with all this. If Colleen can let it rest, so will I.
