Damn!

I thought she died years ago.

I hope for the best for her.

I assume she is an utter, utter leftist - but I enjoy her music quite a bit. Very dark and atmospheric.

Hope she heals up nicely.

Always liked her. "Broken English" is just a classic. Prayers....Colin

has since found a new audience as a sophisticated chanteuse.

My french is sufficiently bad that I have no clue what this means.

Great song, great album. Also, Working Class Hero is better than Lennon's version, IMHO. Then there is that one song ... Mick sure did a hurtin' dance on her to bring out such angst! Did you ever hear her sweet voice in her first album? Such a difference.

I wish her well. Broken English is one of my favorite albums--big influence in my "formative years".

I heard this this morning. Hopefully the got it early and she'll have a full recovery. I saw her perform a couple years ago - she was amazing.

It means she is a female singer. We knew that even before they dropped the French word on us.

"We knew that even before they dropped the French word on us."

****

Ah, but if they dropped the French word on New Jersey, would she be known as a "shan-TOOZ" or a "chan-TOYSE?

At the age of thirty-seven
She realized she'd never ride
Through Paris
In a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair

Breaks my heart every time.

I'll check with Cyndi. If she doesn't know, maybe Bruce would know.

I love that song, too, it's pretty and evocative; of course, I was in my forties before I saw Paris and never rode through it in a sports car (only a broken down taxi)...so I don't really understand what Lucy's problem was.
