Suzanne Vega MIGHT be bisexual, but I'd be very surprised to find out that she was a lesbian, since she's married to Mitchell Froom and they have a daughter. - -- "I wish EVERY day could be a shearing festival!" -- The 10 Commandments =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Keith Ammann is geenius@albany.net "I notice you have a cloud of doom.
