You jogged my ailing short term memory! I just remembered that she went to say that when the NYC cabby took her on a tour, he brought her to wherever the drag queens hang out and that's how she came to write the song. How could I have forgotten to include that? And no, I did not partake of for old times sake! As for the song you mention, I'm not sure I know it. Anyone else? Take care, Gina ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 21:55:19 -0700 From: "Mark or Travis" Subject: Re: Joan Armatrading Concert NJC > > > didn't she do i love it when you call me names? that's my absolute > > favorite, especially the guitar riff at the beginning!!! only a few days > > ago, i was thinking about who could rosie be about? i always thought it was > > about a cross dresser. > > wally\k > > > > Wally!

I can't wait to see you again I know you're gonna slap my face You beat me up and beat me again And over and over and over I love it when you call me names I love it when you call me names Big woman and a short short man And he loves it when she beats his brains out ......
