Anyone familiar with Molly Bloom's soliloquy from James Joyce's "Ulysses" will immediately recognize where Kate plagiarized the above lyrics. If you don't have Ulysses handy, you can hear "Ralph Spoilsport" performing the soliloquy at the end of the Firesign Theater's "How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?". Question (I haven't seen the new album): Does Kate give Joyce credit? Howard A. Landman landman%hanami@eng.sun.com
