BioSo there is this woman and she was on an airplane, and she's flying to meet her fiancé, sailing high above the largest ocean on planet earth, and she was seated next to this man, who, you know, she had tried to start conversations, and only, really the only thing she did heard him say was to order his Bloody Mary. And she's sitting there, and she's reading this really arduous magazine article about this third world country, that she couldn't even pronounce the name of, and she's feeling very bored and very despondent, and then uh, suddenly, there's this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave up, and they started just falling in thirty thousand feet, and the pilot's on the microphone and he's saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh my God, I'm sorry," apologizing and, and she looks at the man and she says, she says "where are we going?" and he looks at her, and he says, "we're going to a party, it's a birthday party. It's your birthday party, happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY much." And then he starts humming this little tune and it kinda goes like this...
"A couple of times a year, i make myself a tape to play in the car, a tape full of all the new songs i've loved over the previous few months, and every time i finish one i can't believe that there'll be another. yet there always is, and i can't wait for the next one; you need only a few hundred things like that, and you've got yourself a life worth living. "

"Okay, let's not be so hard on ourselves here: I'm pretty sure this is all Rivers' fault."
