By the way, would you know where to find ,on line, the song Visions of you "LSD" by Jah Wobble-with background singing by Sinead O'Connor? I would like to add it to my play-list and I can't find it anywhere.

Found it finally and it's on my play list if anyone wants to hear it its at the bottom of the list. Cool song I used to listen to it when we were in school-- doing various things after going clubbing( going to dance clubs, not killing baby seals that is). aah My 20's were great. The world was new and needed to be experienced.

anyhow here is the video:

Thought that myself from time to time. It wouldn't surprise me if there's one out there.



Trivia: Paula Deen's brother has a restaurant in Savannah called Uncle Bubba's. My sister and BIL went there a couple of years ago and brought me back a menu. I wonder if he'd comp a meal for me if I showed up for supper one night?
