My favorite song (so far) is Big Dumb Guy, but I don't listen to the albums all at once. I savor them. It takes me weeks to get to them all. Much thanks to carly for her appearance the other day on Rosie O'Donnel when she said that we should wear our scars proudly to show that we came through hard times and are surviving. She in some ways compared her cancer to depression. I have suffered horribly with depression and her comment lifted me, as Carly always lifts me. Much love to her and may she entertain us for many many years!

Ahead of Whitney's Greatest Hits, even!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 08:59:09 -0400 From: Dale Subject: Re: Poo! Why not just order through the web from , etc. etc?

Import tax etc ends up a very expensive cd!

Colin and anyone else outside the US: It is not tasteful to say " I told you " but... I did about five weeks ago: order the CD through the Internet. You will get the relatively low prices from the USA plus your import taxes. My guess is that you will end up paying less this way than buying it at an European music store. I have been to Europe on vacation, therefore I do not know the rule, maybe I knew only the exception. The CDs that I bought there, vg. in England, were very hard to find in my country. But I took a close look at the prices of music CDs (which are easily found in here) while in England, France, Germany, and so on, and they were ALWAYS between 35% to 50% higher than in my country... including some Carly Simon ones but also rock, jazz, classical... I may be wrong but I feel it is better to order your own copy of TBT than wait in pain 'til they give you the "new news" of another delay in the effective release date up there! My husband brought home 3 CDs of TBT that he bought on May 16th. while in Seattle, WA, the US... but we already gave the two extras away to our dearest friends who happen to love Carly. I wish you the best of luck... Love, Margarita. ------------------------------ End of hotcakes-digest V3 #12 *****************************
