For some reason, when I first read the subject line, I thought they meant Joan Osborne and Annie Lennox, and I was a little baffled. Then I opened the thread and realized that my literacy skills FAIL (though I know for certain there's no "e" in Cook County).
But anyway. YAY for Adriane Lenox 
Love her.
