I can relate to those lyrics..
Princess Di's death was one of those moments for me as well. I'll never forget where I was & how I found out. I was in Jackson, WY with my mom (on vacation) and they announced it over a radio station that was playing in one of the stores. Everyone was weeping, and I said, "How sad!" and attempted to continue on with the conversation I was having with my mom. She shushed me because she wanted to hear the whole radio report. Then for the rest of the vacation she kept going on and on about it.
I remember four women, of whom I was one, sitting in a car, having come home from an AA meeting in a tiny, tiny town in Southern South Dakota, mourning the lady that was married young, had a harridan for a mother in law, a chronically unfaithful husband and was hounded by ravening fans and photographers. We knew how it was to be expected to play a social game with no regard to your own heart, remembered her work with children and land mines and took a moment to think about living in the time of a princess that history would remember - yes, evidently with her detractors like Nan Bullin and Marie deGuise had.
but I remember that night in Spink, South Dakota, where we shed a tear for Mother Teresa and her friend "Dutch".
If you don't want her, we will claim her. We understand noble sluts here in America.
