Cat Stevens was there. Maybe he sang this song.

People who are not nuts generally go into some field other than pop music, is the reason for the oddness there.

Self-selection.

I was reminded of the violin bridge's effect by the Dixie Chicks' Cowboy Take Me Away; which melodywise resembles Into White's not at all, but in its effect is identical.; 11/22/08, 6:06 PM

I didn't know that Jackson had been a Jehovah's Witness. Thirty years ago, I found a dollar bill on the street. I hold the superstition that money found should be quickly disposed of. As it happens, a Jehovah's Witness boarded the bus I was riding and couldn't find the fare, so I paid it. He gave me a hardcover book explaining his faith. I read it, then used it as a platform for hash under glass.; 11/22/08, 7:31 PM
