“According to the Times, an anonymous pal of Ives was quoted as saying, “unfortunately he is just too valuable to Apple and they told him in no uncertain terms that if he headed back to England he would not be able to sustain his position with them.”

There were true gems in the 90s and she was one of them. Likewise, fantastic movies like Happiness, Ice Storm, The Opposite Of Sex, There’s Something About Mary and Pulp Fiction. Liz Phair would have stood out in any decade.

Disagree! Sometimes just getting your mental joints limber and DOING SHIT - anything - can really get things going.
