I think she means that someday somebody is going to make you want to say goodbye and turn around (and leave), but don't! Hold on to your codependent! And don't turn around and then say goodbye because the person might not hear you!

Kal Penn's real name was a crossword clue a few weeks ago.
― Jordan, Monday, 1 October 2007 18:21 (sixteen years ago) link
but it's so weird because right after that line, she sings, "until then, baby, don't let 'em hold you down and make you cry" as though the moment when someone makes you want to turn around and say goodbye is like, a fateful event that will be some sort of turning point?

I don't know Kal Penn's real name.
she can't be expected to make any sense with that haircut.

Kal Penn reminds me of my friend Amar from middle and high school, though last I heard Amar was heavy into martial arts so he's probably not as cool as Kal Penn.

His dad was a Mountie.
Amar's, not Kal Penn's (as far as I know).

Oh crap, I thought that was CeCe Peniston.

Sarah has met CeCe Peniston and I'm sure will tell you the story if you ask her when she's around.

I was looking for a photo of that curl, 'shoe, and couldn't find it!
― Eazy, Monday, 1 October 2007 18:37 (sixteen years ago) link
does that curl have a name?

spit curl

So, we know that Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder brought the excess and makeup of hair-metal fashion to an end for male rockers, but who brought the 80s to an end for the women? Alanis, with her natural style?

...or, as lisa preferred, "jerome"
THANK YOU, AMANDA!

Lisa Stansfield in that spit curl picture has a very 90s look to her makeup.
― horseshoe, Monday, 1 October 2007 18:40 (sixteen years ago) link
haha that was pretty much my makeup in high school. dark eyeliner on top, bright red lipstick, translucent powder to give me that desirable pallor of the dead. if i had had more balls i would have gone for a fake audrey horne mole, but i was too timid. oh high school.

It is aging in dog years apparently. No 60-year old should be so broke down.
― Jesse, Monday, 1 October 2007 19:14 (sixteen years ago) link
the CTA is 60 years old, the infrastructure is much much older. it dates back to the time when all the lines were owned by independent companies.

According to the historian they had on to accompany part of the story, the CTA paid for itself (no state funding) for about the first half of its life, up until the 70s or so.

so what's happening now is... nostalgia?

i know that the jarvis stop has supposedly not been renovated since like 1908 or something. no wonder it smells strongly of wee.

I don't understand what you mean by nostalgia. There was a Northwestern civil engineer on the program too, he said the cost of operating two 24-hour lines (maintainence is more expensive and slower), white flight (eroded the sales tax base that paid for part of transit + less fares) and the emergence of private automobiles led to funding crises. Probably some mismanagement in there too, I'd guess.
