Thanks CC!!

Ah, that's one of the names that is referenced in the opening tune of
the Rocky Horror Picture Show (Sciene Fiction, Double Feature). Got
it, thanks.
> There aren't a lot of great sad pop songs, at least in my
experience... I'm talking about songs that portray genuine
melancholy, regret and/or the pain of loss, delivered in a fashion
that doesn't cheapen or betray honest emotion... What are some other
great sad pop songs?
For me, the best of these is easily "Pink Frost" by The Chills (from
New Zealand). If you've heard it, you already know what I mean. If
you haven't, you should check it out. It's a haunting number, and a
great pop song, that you won't soon forget. Another is "Julia" by The
Beatles.
And for really over the top sad pop songs, how about that awful tune
from the '70s, "Daddy Please Don't" (or something like that)?
Be seeing you,
Bill
