The resemblance was almost bizarre…but I hope she looks better than Judy looked 11 years later

@avclub-ce6c92303f38d297e263c7180f03d402:disqus I know! If I recall correctly, it's the main theme - but the quiet, bubbly-sounding woodwinds are replaced by screaming, hysterical strings. I've only seen it the once, but when I heard that I was like - really? That's so amazing!

What you said below, about the Yorkshire accents in James Herriot's books: "Ay, sorr, she's womitin', womitin' verrah bad". That's only stuck with me for about 35 years, and I can still hear that voice in my head just as clear as ever.

OOOOH. Okay. You know, I vaaaguely recall encountering that idea at the time - possibly in an offhand comment in a print review of the album. I can also hear my friend Hal's voice explaining it in my head - he was good at making connections like that.

Yup that's the first thing that came to mind. Like @hornacek:disqus said, Jennifer Rush - also Laura Branigan, and Air Supply, and god knows who else!

She may have said that or not, I don't remember, but she has given a lot of thought to and written about science fiction and fantasy genres, and what they are, and what they encompass.

"Cat's Eye" was my introduction to her. It was on the bestseller's lists and had been forever, so I read it. I didn't enjoy it a lot, but she's become since then one of my favorite writers, for the following if nothing else (but there's so much else, esp "Oryx and Crake", "Alias Grace", "The Robber Bride", and on…):

The Sting is going to be playing at a theatre here in August, I think. I definitely want to see it again - the last time I saw it was on a theatrical re-release in about 1978. I wasn't quite old enough for it yet - I remember a lot of it, so it made an impression, but I mostly remember being bored and confused.
