Comment:

ode to an idol. put this together on the anniversary of marilyn monroe's death... (August 5, 1962) title is from a theory that says enemies of the kennedys killed her. (note: i don't support the theory) said scheme was to get bobby kennedy there at the scene of her death and give him bad press, or something to that effect. don't ask. its more of an inside joke, that line. most of the mix explains itself... i usually follow an "ani difranco must go on every mix" rule - bus stop was one of her movies, etc, etc.

this looks like it makes a lot of sense, and there's some really good songs here. i remember when they used to play the video for that beth hart song on vh1.. haven't heard that in ages.

This is a good thing. I was almost past sick of EJ's "Candle in the Wind" for awhile, but if its getting back to Marilyn now, I might be willing to listen to it again. Thanks.
