As you may be able to guess, this surgery was planned well in advance --- November IIRC.

That's Anne Murray. As I know you know.

I'm talking about Laurie Anderson.



O Superman is some of her best work. But there's much more (as I hope you know).

If you are so shit hot at fix up jobs, perhaps you could restore some context to this very humourous remark.

As my dad often says: It's a thankless job (especially where davieddy is concerned) but someone has to do it.
