> She was playing a concert one night in Vancouver around 1985 and I guess she is a vegetarian because there was only one half-decent vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver at that time and I went in to get some “take out” and then she came in with Franken and Davis to get some takeout as well. I guess they were her writers at that time.

> I said, “Hello” and we got to chatting and one thing led to another and she invited me to come to her concert that night and come backstage and meet the backstage people. But I could not do that because I was working that night.
