Who did the painting? I have no wish to be pedantic, but it's Suzanne, not Susanne, and it's Marlene, not Marlena. I wouldn't bother to mention it except that I've twice seen a video for this song on MTV, and their credit line spells it with a final "a", whereas on my cassette copy, it's spelled with a final "e" everywhere. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
