Oh well. * Divorce Song sounded good. Nice choice for the opener... * Man, she alluded again to the "album that wasn't"... which she claims was NOT rejected by Capitol but by herself, because she thought it was too dreary or something. The Michael Penn stuff, I guess. I'm thinking that the half-DLed "rapids" and "i'm a liar" come from this phantom album. If she doesn't release all that stuff within the next six months I'm going to have to be violent. - --Catherine > From: AWeiss4338@aol.com > Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2003 01:57:12 EDT > To: support-system@smoe.org > Subject: Re: [support-system] World Cafe > > Great interview!

I could play Chopsticks when i was seven on the piano. i thought it was common knowlege that chopsticks is a stupid little kid-type piano-for-beginners type song. if you watch in the movie BIG w/ tom hanks - - the big famous piano scene where tom hanks and his boss are dancing on the piano is them playing the song chopsticks, and liz just took the song, slowed it down and wrote kick ass lyrics to it, forever warping the way i look at the song. unless the guy in animal house actually mentioned Liz -i'm sure he was just referring to this song, which is pretty much a staple for anyone who has had to sit through piano lessons as a kid. laters, dan ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2003 14:43:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Erin Subject: [support-system] Re: support-system-digest V6 #240 Ummm, Liz didn't come up with "Chopsticks" on her own. It's just a little ditty that virtually anyone can play on the piano. Many songs use that melody, hell, I sang Christmas songs in middle school choir that were to the tune of Chopsticks. ****** I watched the new DVD of Animal House and I was surprised to hear one of Liz's song mentioned.
