[Deb Woodell Subject: [RS] If you're not creeped out "by now...." There is a discussion taking place on the David Wilcox list about whether the song "Jamie's Secret" is reminiscent of the terror created by Gary Ridgway, the serial killer. But here's a news snippet about his job: "Before his arrest, Ridgway had worked for more than 30 years at a local plant that makes Kenworth trucks."

I've never thought the song was quite so sinister, since I've always thought it was more about an accident or suicide than, y'know, murder. But why is "By Now" creepy? Isn't it a harmless song about the sweet old gentleman giving a completely innocent ride to a young girl? Heh.
