As another foreigner who used to live in the USA I can vouch for Austin being the centre of the musical world. I thought that even before Shawn moved back there. A wonderful city, a great music scene.

ODB is just an idiot.... he really got arrested for about the third or fourth time after messing with Shawn's Grammy acceptance.  He's a pawn in this web of intrigue, a red herring, meant to throw us off the trail in our pursuit of the truth.... :::The Loss of Identity Theory::: bH in Patrick Springs VA:  Face it, she had big hair. bH in Austin, TX (if such a place exists):  she has some pretty stiff competition (pun intended) and maybe has lost the use of the BigHAIR moniker.  She may be without an identity in her new home. I'm sure there are other possibilities... Kat, I'm not sure we should oust her just yet.  Besides, even if the Shawn and Neil show actually happens and bH gets a note, how will we authenticate it?  It could be a perfect double, like that guy who has been living as Paul McCartney all these years, since he disappeared in the late 60's. I think, however, that until we hear from bH, that you Kat, should fulfill her role until which time that DNA proof is obtained to verify that we are indeed getting the true bH back. - -john ;-) At 12:39 PM 11/8/98 +1100, Kat the Revolutionary wrote: >Meri courageously dared to defy ruling authority by suggesting: > >> Ah...  But whom do we heckle?  BigHAIR for being AWOL without so much as >> a note from her mom, or innocent bystanders who, as a direct result, have >> never heard of her?  I say she needs a note from *Shawn* to get back in!!    > >Hear hear!!
