I know this from somewhere, but where? Do I have the nerve to pull the trigger? It sure sounds like something Yeats would write, or maybe I saw it in a review of the movie.

Nope, can't pull the trigger on this one. JTQ.

She described herself as a "middle-aged broad" (mentioned several times during the show). And what was up with Mere and the glasses?

I'd ATA also. Mere mentioned that this song broke the record held by Leann Rimes.

I don't know. Maybe she's been wearing contact lenses but they were irritating her eyes? Maybe she's taken a small step of rebellion against TPTB's preconceptions about what "telegenic" should be. If so, more power to her!

A. D.R.E.A.M.
B. D.E.A.L.

D. D.A.R.E.

And that's why we don't have a drug problem in this country.

No problems until the last one, which I could not withdraw from what remains of my memory bank. JTQ 1 for me.

I go with the fashion statement on the glasses. Spectacles rock!

She was annoying.

I think they only picked her as a Bored Shout-Out to SC and Kay.
