shoot me,

so sorry not-so-shrinking-Violet but I really can't resist the obvious retort:-
"they shoot horses don't they"
basically I'm with you and Mende on this one but for a different reason I have for many years found Sundown to be overwhelmingly boring and repetitive and hard to see why it was such a big hit. Now Inspiration Lady... there's a hit if ever I heard one (and I did predict to a friend within 15 minutes of seeing them win on television the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest from Brighton,England that Abba and "Waterloo" would be smash hits (but they were after all a rare example of real talent on that much maligned annual show.
(does Celine Dion count she won it in 1988 with "ne partez pas sans moi" I wonder!!)and she a Kaybecwow was representing Switzerland to boot)
Finally dare I admit to liking a few of her recent efforts but then I used to like "driving all night"!!
