Hi there! Y'know, something has always bothered me... "Babooshka" has always been one of my favorite KaTe Songs, yet I always wince at the line "Just like his wife before she freezed on him". Ignoring the possible sexist connotations of this line, what bugs me is why didn't she use the correct word, "Froze"? It does nothing to the timing of the song; also, I doubt if she picked "freezed" because it "sounded" better phoentically (Kate is NOT the Cocteau Twins, no insult intended to either KT or CT). Freezed? Come ON now! I know grammer has never been the top priority of rock (Imagine "I can't get any satifaction") but Kate, as far as I know, has no other "artistical" mistakes (OK, I'm probably wrong here). Thank you, I just needed to get that off my chest. -- Steve Berlin (Stev0) | "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of Stev0@sti.com | wealth..." - George H. W. Bush
