assistant: May be from the Secret Book of Moderaptor.
    Do you remember the theme from the original TV series _Superman_?
    (Hint - we should be talking about music, see?)
Typing about quoting and overquoting:
    Agreed!
...
    Is good!  It is almost the definitive song for "stalker" style love
and relationships.  The music video is one of the most well done I've
ever seen.
    I do!
...
    For quite a while.  :)
    Actually the most recent purchase was Kim Fox's _Moon Hut_.  I did
pick up Carly Simons' _Have You Seen Me Lately_ and _Letters Never Sent_
to fill out her back catalog.
    Just listened to Loverboy a few days ago, both the self titled and
_Get Lucky_.  Definitely a Foreigner knock off band.  Good music,
though.  <grin>
    I have nothing of Lennon's work outside the Beatles...
...
    An Alternative band which is decent if not outstanding.
    Oh.  :)
    I spent two hours at Borders going through their music reference
section and still haven't found out who did the soundtrack.  I hate when
this happens!
...
    Ya, I am.  It is difficult to think only 20 short years ago there
were no Walkman, Discman, or boomboxes...
    And your point is?  ;-}~
    I thought you might be flirting again. <ROTFL!>
