Who are Maureen, Michael? Possible Answers

["Karen L. Newcombe" <kln@crl.com>]

Greetings my darling rocket tails.  The day before I bought TRS I picked 
up a copy of the new Dead Can Dance album, which is dedicated to the 
memory of Maureen Copper.  I think it is too much of a coincidence that 
Kate also mentions a Maureen in her list of beloved departed ones, and my 
speculation is that Maureen Copper was someone in the music industry who 
was friends with many people -- perhaps the Homeground Twins could verify 
this.

Can you really not ken who Michael was?  Who did Kate come to New York to
see?  Whose movie did she take as inspiration for the album and film? 

I was in New York during the blizzard last spring, on a balcony of the 
Royalton Hotel as it came roaring into town, hailing and snowing and 
lightning all at one time, and the buildings all up and down 44th Street 
slowly turned into mountains -- she captured it well, and with such 
simplicity.

through the snow . . ."   "I'd be running up that hill, I'd be running up 
that building -- if I only could . . ."
