I still remember seeing the movie 'Bless the Beasts and the Children'
when I was in High School. It played in a mall movie theatre and I
remember barely getting out to the car in the parking lot before
bursting into sobbing tears. This lump had been building up in my
throat in the theatre and as a teenage male I couldn't be seen crying
in public so I had to struggle to contain it til I was safely in my
parents' car. I already knew what it was like to be an outsider by
that time but I don't think the full meaning of it had hit home until
I saw that movie.

I believe that would be Rickie Lee Jones. Some of you on the list may
be interested to know that I finally broke down after 20 years and
bought my first two RLJ cds. Up until now I have never owned any of
her music.
