It appears that someone did notice, but however on the same day. I read it
on Really Deep Thoughts and not on the rec. group. A lady, I've forgotten
her name, sent in her story of the show at the Greek. She noticed, like you
yourself did, that Tori sang some bits of Running up that hill. So it seems
you've got your confirmation.
Also, I've checked, and there are no lyrics like that in Love Song.

Does this mean KaTe will be covering Tori-songs, in spite of her `well, um,
interesting'-remark when her opinion of Tori was asked?

Bye again,

Richard
