I've been trying to compile a definitive list of all the names B&S have dropped in song. Besides their own. If I've forgotten any (like from the unreleased stuff which I'm not as familiar with), let me know. Rip van Winkle is the only fictional one. And Elvis is questionable because they MIGHT not be referring to Mr. Presley (although I know that they ARE). (Bob) Dylan Paula Wilcox Sid James Seymour Stein Johnny (Marr) Rip van Winkle George the 3rd (Jack) Kerouac Elvis (Presley)? Doestoevski Mark Twain (Her Majesty the) Queen And OH, content on celebrity spottings: I was promenadeing on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica last night, and Alanis Morrisette was shopping at Urban Outfitters at the same time I was. Not that I'm a fan, or that anyone else here is (ahem, ur...) but it was cool anyway. No one noticed her, she looked so plain. And she's really short. She kept looking at me (or so my friends said; I wasn't looking at HER) and then we left the store and she was standing outside and I took a picture of my girlfriend so I could get Alanis in the background. Are you afraid for me? Who was Cana? Besides the start of something Big? Another true story: My cousin Melanie has a boyfriend named Sebastian. I call them Mel & Sebastian. Totally fucking true story. Is the book "Belle & Sebastien" hard to find? Anyone have it? I hope all that unsubbed for the holidays are back and happy and posting again. Love to all.
