[QUOTE=Loach] She must have a thing for musicians. [/QUOTE] I think they have a thing for her; I’ve heard her described as a muse. ---

[QUOTE=Loach] She must have a thing for musicians. The song [Rosanna](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkCbe5LY5do&mode=related&search=) was written about Rosanna Arquette by Steve Pocaro of the group Toto. I don’t think they were actually married but they were together. [/QUOTE] Right, and she was also married to the film composer [James Newton Howard](http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0006133/). She said this, according to her [Wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosanna_Arquette): > [@](#): > > “I love music and wanted to sit down with some of the people I admire and discuss what keeps them going — the balance between art and life, the state of the art of music today and what inspires them. Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself.” Makes me love her a bit. ---

Rosanna Arquette actually made a documentary about music/musicians where she discusses the state of music in today’s world with a long list of musicians called **All We Are Saying**. ---

One that surprised me: Phylicia Rashad (aka Phylicia Ayers-Allen) was once married for two years (1978-1980) to Victor Willis, former lead singer of the Village People. :eek: He was the one who was costumed as a cop. ---

**Jayjay** and I were watching “Shut Up and Sing” this afternoon, and were pleasantly surprised to find out that Natalie Maines is married to Adrian Pasdar (Heroes). Neat! 😃 ---
