For a wedding I would do "All the Girls Hate Her" It's all instrumental and its totally beautiful. It's a b-side and not very well known but wouldn't be objectionable to older guests.

That's a popular misconception about Marilyn's death, but it certainly isn't true. There may have been some heroin usage while in their company; I don't know, but she died of an overdose of sleeping pills. Nobody knows if this was intentional or not, because she had always suffered from insomnia and almost always took sleeping pills, often with wine, to get to sleep. She was also depressed at the time, however, and a few hours prior, she had tried to call Robert Kennedy to get him to take her back, but he wouldn't take her calls. I got that from Gloria Steinem's book, the one they based the horrible HBO special on, so I assume my information is right if memory serves me well, which it doesn't always. Hope that sheds some light on the situation...

Set For Expansion LiveOnline, the silicon alley interactive company has opened an LA office in a joint venture with K2, while also expanding their space on lower fifth.

Ummm... not exactly. Marilyn died at home from an overdose of barbituates (downers). Frankly, I don't think PW is about the Kennedy's or Marilyn Monroe or even drugs, for that matter, although I can see how the drug thing *might* make sense. Although in that case I must say that the whole Courtney Love idea makes more sense, but I really can't envision Tori taking that much time to write a song about Courtney Love. But then again, all that is just my humble opinion and really makes no difference. :) TTFN! Bright Blessings and Lollipops!

At my lowest points this brings me back up, ready to fight again. I was wondering if anyone had the lyrics to this (I had to listen to try and figure them out). Plus I was wondering about the line "And here I stand, with this sword in my hand." What does the sword stand for? I love that part about "And my preist says: you've been saving no souls. And my father says you been making any money? And my doctor says you just took it to the limit..." Go Tori! Show us all what determination's about! ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V2 #321 *************************************
