Because I have a thing about buying CDs based upon just one song, and sinc I don’t do that illegal filesharing thing, I take a lot of CDs out of the library to decide whether or not they’re worth purchasing. Right now, I’ve got Annie Lennox’s “Bare” which I think I like enough to add to my shopping list. But in the meanwhile, I’m dying to know what she wrote on the back cover. The library has oh-so-helpfully slapped their internal control label right over the legend Annie’s written to explain the cover photograph. I can read up to this line: > [@](#): > > A ghostly apparition, or an Indian Saddhu, the false lashes represent Can anyone fill in the rest of the paragraph for me? TIA! ---

She is that, in many ways. Thank you, Larry.
