And who cares if she moved to la. la is great fun. And she should do more acting / modeling / writing TV jingles / whatever if it makes her happy. Good for her. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 00:21:44 -0500 (EST) From: Dan Cook Subject: Re: Random nothingness > and for any lucinda williams fans, she does a killer cover of > "changed the locks" Being a Lucinda fan, I feel obligated to mention that Lucinda actually wrote this song, and it's on her self-titled 1989 (or 1990?) album. I think Tom Petty covered it, but it's definitely a LW original. Back to lurkdom.
