Posted: 9/18/04 at 10:52amI haven't heard yet, but if they get all politically correct and cut the song "Happy Talk", I'm not going.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Dollypop darlin',
Since you quote "Heather on the Hill" from "Brigadoon", it reminds me of "Almost Like Being in Love"...have you read the new comic novel of the same name ("Almost Like Being in Love" not "Brigadoon)...by Steve Kluger. Wonderfully funny light reading, with lots of Broadway musical comedy references...and the author is a BIG fan of your favorite star and it shows....
