Suffice it to say that I never went for teen idols--I was into grown men at a rather young age. Not in real life, of course, but I had a great imagination. ;^)]Both of the "Joan Rivers" appearances prove that my memory is pretty good: one most definitely *can* see TMDR's intelligence in his face. He always had that kind of laser-eyed intensity, that sort of hyper-focused look, that said 'brilliant' to me. And damn, was I right. :^) Now *everybody* knows how brilliant he is, hee hee! ;^) I don't know whether I saw that appearance when it happened--probably!!! :^D Does anyone here remember seeing it when it was new? Thanks for leading us to the good stuff, Merujo!!! :^D Peace and fresh pineapple, Kara, who had a HUUUUUUGE crush on our TMDR during most of the 80's. Like y'all didn't suspect as much. ;^) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's All About the Music. :^) ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V12 #30 ***************************
