I was trying to think what the last disc that I was anticipating this eagerly was, and I was drawing a complete blank. Heck, it might have been Johnny Cash at San Quentin back in '68 or '69 when I was a wee lad. (And I'm not kidding. I was a HUGE Cash fan when I was a little kid. I remember walking by Penn Traffic, the department store nearby, on the way home from school every day to see if it was out yet!) jpc somewhere near bellefonte pa ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2001 08:47:29 -0400 From: "Susan Koval" Subject: Re: [RS] (suggestion): live album title Vanessa, Ah, now I get it! :) That's pretty funny, I had been thinking it was "out there" because the one word difference was enough to conjure up a different image in my mind - I didn't associate it with AYHN, and I thought it was some esoteric reference from one of your philosophy classes or something!

It should have been "Children peered into the room"--from the line in AYHN. Or do you just mean it's a bit "out there" (which, I admit, it is)?

We came across a Richard Marx CD called "Repeat Offender." Jay simply turned to me, shook his head, and sighed, "How true."
