(3,161 posts)3. I was driving home from work last night
I was passing through Culver City and I recalled how Linda's brother put in to become chief of Culver City police many years ago (unsuccessfully). Then I started thing about Linda and her career and how many songs of hers I love. Then I started to think about her current state wondering how she gets through on the inside. And then I was probably distracted by a terrible driver.

One of the all time greatest singing voices ever. Every guy I knew in college wanted either to run away with her or marry her. Nobody, even the big names, ever managed that.
