I thought it was further back. Something new that's happened? ... O.K., so today I was driving the Saturn that used to be my daughter's, until she got a newer car and it got in an accident. Anyway, one of the plastic rear quarter panels is half shattered, and covered with duct tape. This guy comes up to me in a store parking lot, gives me his card, and says that he can get a panel from his junkyard for $50, paint it to match and fix it cheap. (The car is an SL series, and the panels aren't for sale outside of junkyards and such. I'd expected to pay $80 to $100, but haven't got around to getting one yet.) He gives me his card, says to call and ask for Mike, shakes my hand, and goes off to talk to the next car owner with minor body damage. So maybe he's just being resourceful in drumming up business in a poor economy? Except: The name on the card was Louis, and the address given is in the middle of a residential area where there are definitely no body shops. So is he an honest gray-market operator? (Pays no taxes, but delivers.) Or would I never get the car back? Or would I get it back, with a quarter panel that he stole the night before off of someone else's Saturn? ---David ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

The song is called Rise. Or both? :-) If so, that really is a pretty song. I *thought* I was hearing snippets of English in there, even though the closed captioning just said Singing in Japanese, or something like that. Singing in Russian actually. (Quite distinct from Japanese to my ear) The singer is Origa AKA Olga Vitalevna Jakovleva . From Wiki: Origa has as of 2005 released seven solo albums, two mini-albums, and 3 singles. She gained popularity outside of Japan and Russia with the release of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and the subsequent original soundtrack, written by long-time friend and composer Yoko Kanno, hosting the theme song Inner Universe (featuring boy soprano Benedict Delmaestro). (Origa first performed with Kanno for the ? Gundam, singing Gabriela Robin's Moon with the Gey's AX chorus.) An additional opening theme song from Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG (the second season of the popular anime series), Rise, also gained acclaim. I really love the quality of her voice. I found a website where I could d/l MP3s of many anime theme tracks (most of which are performed and/or written by popular Japanese bands) and ended up burning a CD of my favorite Anime music tracks. So now I have all the GITS, Cowboy BeBop, and FullMetal Alchemist music I can eat. I even have the theme to Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo which is quite ass kicking on its own thank you very much. The full versions are much better that the edited versions heard during the credits. My track list goes like this 1 Justice League Unlimited theme 2 Inner Universe (GITS first theme) Origa and Yoko Kanno 3 Real Folk Blues (Cowboy BeBop closer) 4 Rewrite (FMA opener in the final episodes) 5 Run Rabbit Junk (GITS incidental) Yoko Kanno 6 Tank (Cowboy Bebop opener) 7 Wild Challenger (Bo Bo Bo opener) Jindou 8 Ready Steady Go (older FMA opener) L'Arc~En~Ceil 9 Rise (current GITS opener) Origa and Yoko Kanno It is a bit short really, bit just long enough for my normal commute. I plan to make a longer version later when I identify more songs I cannot live without. xponent Obvious Inquiries Offlist Please Maru rob ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

She is responsible for many terpsichorean sins, among which is this: n the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox With the best of country music, old and new You can hear your five selections for a quarter And somebody else's songs when yours are through I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter And my friends around to help me ease the pain 'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song And here I am just missing you again Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17 It was our song, it was his song, but it's over Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean I don't ever wanna hear that song again If I had a dime for every time I held you Though you're far away, you've been so close to me I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville Maybe even in the state of Tennessee But I guess I'd better get myself together 'Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind Just a note that said I'm sorry by your picture And a song that's weighing heavy on my mind Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17 It was our song, it was his song, but it's over Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean I don't ever wanna hear that song again Dave B-18 Land ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

RE: Hello (hello, hello)
The marchin' band came down along Main Street The soldier blues fell in behind I looked across and there I saw Billy Waiting to go and join the line And with her head upon his shoulder His young and lovely fiancee From where I stood I saw she was cryin' And through her tears I heard her say Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife And as he started to go she said, Billy, keep your head low Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside The battle raging all around The sergeant cried, We've got to hang on, boys! We've got to hold this piece of ground I need a volunteer to ride up And bring us back some extra men And Billy's hand was up in a moment Forgettin' all the words she said She said Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife And as he started to go she said, Billy, keep your head low Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me I heard his fiancee got a letter That told how Billy died that day The letter said that he was a hero She should be proud he died that way I heard she threw that letter away ...
