When I Relayed this Story to Phil, I Could Hear His Heart Break

I was driving my brother to work while on one of my many visits to the land-of-sin-and-parties: Modesto and we were listening to one of my famous mixed CD's. If you ask real nice, I might make one for you. Just be prepared to fall in love with me after you've listened to it. On this CD was Tori Amos covering The Cure's "Lovesong". It's a mediocre recording sound-wise, but why would that stop me or any other red-blooded twenty-something? My brother Aaron is listening along and stops and says "hey, I know this song. She's covering 311."

We think maybe he's getting some CD's for Christmas. All pre-1995.

And for everyone else, we were thinking this, maybe. Too risky? Too in-your-face? We were hoping so.
