The song is called "I Remember Me" and it's about Anna Anderson, the woman who thought she was Anastasia Romanov. The song is from the debut album of The Innocence Mission. It's also told in first person, and gives an eerie look into the mind of Anna. - -jen === I look for the good in everything.

The Virgin Megastore at Tottenham Court Rd in London has lots of the import copies. If you're not living in the centre of the universe, then sadly it looks like it won't be released here. Mail order places ought to have lots of copies of the import. >Also, I was looking at the latest photos of Tori on the MikeWhy web page, >wondering what she looked like these days, still as gorgeous as ever, how >the f*** does she manage to still look like that at nearly 36 years of age!?

It's in section 302; row Y; seat 102. If you would like this ticket, email me :) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 20:16:40 GMT From: "Wake UpNeo" Subject: Ouch ! In a recent PT digest, Squidgy asked: " I was looking at the latest photos of Tori on the MikeWhy web page, wondering what she looked like these days, still as gorgeous as ever, how the f*** does she manage to still look like that at nearly 36 years of age! (lots of Evian I guess) " Ouch ! LOL. Now, don't misunderstand me; I'm chuckling over this one. But--yeow. I'm Tori's age... and this post makes it sound like 96 not 36. LOL How'd I ever get this far without falling apart like Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep in _Death Becomes Her_ ? ;o) Sorry, just had to kid ya about this one. But it's okay-- I was just having this conversation with someone actually; that I can remember when *I* thought anyone over 30 was ancient (shades of _Logan's Run_ !). When I could not even imagine the people one or two generations ahead of me, as ever being teenagers or not looking oldish or not wearing clothes I thought were dowdy, etc. So I know where this is coming from, really and it's okay. I just um had to still say Ouch ! But it's a chuckling ouch. Hope this made sense. I gotta say, too, **it feels a lot younger when you get here yourself**. *LOL* Actually tho, if you think about it, many rock stars, movie stars, etc., are very glamorous in their thirties (where many of them are now) or even *shudder* forties. :o) Glamorous, hip, shopping at Retail Slut even. ;o) Altho some *may* have had a *bit* too much fun with plastic surgery, granted. (Altho, very understandable in the youth-oriented Western world, where our elders are warehoused and never heard from again-- instead of listened to, helped and respected). But, the human body is fairly durable. If a person eats right and gets exercise, and doesn't abuse their health longterm with drugs etc., &basically takes care of themselves, it's actually pretty natural to look good well into life. More natural than what too many people do; but, the letting go of one's health is the norm, unfortunately, and skews the ratio. And might make still looking good in the thirties/forties seem unusual; but it really isn't meant to be that way. It's only an unhealthy lifestyle that makes people look older (at 30/40) than nature intended. I mean, Nature intended us to be active and to eat natural foods. The people who do that, tend to look younger and healthier than those who are sedentary most of the time and eat man-made foods (and I've done both, so, I'm not judging anyone here). So, anyway: when people take good care of their bodies and health, there is no mystery about their looking it. All this to say: oh please don't tell me that I'm old !! ;o) And now i gotta go take my Geritol & soak the false teeth.... ;o) Hopefully this was taken in the gentle spirit intended; :^) K. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I wasn't aware of the show that VH1 is running right now on the top 100 women in rock. They are up to #86 right now showing about a 5 minute stint on each woman. Our Tori is inevitably going to be on soon!!! I don't know if this message will get through to you all in time. It's 9:40 EST and she was just on talking about #86 (I don't know who it was and I wasn't ready so I couldn't tape it!!) - - Kim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 20:05:07 EDT From: Gruagach7@aol.com Subject: Before It's Time? Hey Everyone!! This is kind of a personal observation but I've pondered about it for a while and was curious to know what you guys thought. I am enthralled by "Ode to the Banana King (Part One)" Everytime I listen to it it reminds me more and more of Boys for Pele. Does anybody else think that Ode came before it's time? The lyrics I can't make anything out of...I feel the song more than I understand it, which, for me, most of Pele's songs are like that. If this makes any sense it also sounds a lot like something that would have been on Pele. It's a relatively dark song that has multi-meanings behind it (again that's a more personal thing). "Violent and Delicious..." What better words describe Pele? Another song that really mystifies me is "Hungarian Wedding Song". I don't know much about it. Does anybody know if Tori has said anything about it or what the thought behind it was? I'd be very interested in any information anyone has to offer....:-) Thanks for reading!!
