Juliana Hatfield used to be the lead singer for Blake Babies.  If you like her
solo album, _Hey Babe_, you'll probably like Blake Babies too, since a lot of
it sounds just like her stuff with the group.  It's fun music, good for summer
driving. :)

I too saw this show- I stayed up until 3AM to do it, but it was worth it, I
think. :)  I still can't figure out why the hell they put tidbits on Enya and
Sarah in the middle of a show featuring Kenny Loggins, but there must be a
reason.

It was the first chance I'd had to see what Enya looks like- wow.  I had also
never seen her videos, and I was greatly impressed by the _Midsummers Night's
Dream_ quality of the one that wasn't "Orinoco Flow".  It was neat.  She had
interesting things to say, too- I didn't know she doesn't write her lyrics!

As for Sarah, I am now bound and determined to see her in concert when she
comes back this way in July.  Dammit.

The other thing I noticed was they didn't even show Kenny Loggins' songs in
their entirety, and it was pretty much his show!  This doesn't bode well for
Tori, should they actually feature her- there's plenty of good bits they'll cut
out.  Like "boy you'd best pray that I bleed real soon, how's that thought for
ya?" and "so you can make me come, that doesn't make you Jesus".   They're
outta there.  Just a prediction...
