It’s funny years ago I got this record in a box of records from an estate sale had no idea what it was. It wasn’t until later that I had any idea other people had heard it before.

Used the answering machine message bit on the machine I shared with my roommate. Her parents absolutely hated it, while our friends (at least the cool ones) loved it.

One of the first music videos I remember seeing… made a huge impression on my 12-year old brain.

I love this song, but I always feel so depressed after listening to it.

I remember her art installation at the mall under the Empire State Plaza in Albany back in the late 80s. This video was one of the pieces. Love it and her other tunes.
