I actually saw Milla in concert back in the mid 90's.
She opened for the Crash Test Dummies, and she was quite good.
This was at an outdoor venue, and typical for South Florida summer evenings, a thunder storm rolled on through.
Milla finished her set, but the Dummies walked off the stage after playing only one song.
I bought her cd titled <i>The Divine Comedy</i> the next day.
Here's a half dozen for ya ...

Spent four years in Washington, D.C. when I attended The George Washington University from the fall of 1969 to the summer of 1973.
Freshman year began with anti-war demonstrations and senior year ended with the Watergate hearings.
It was an amazing time to be in our nation's capital.
Other capital cities I have visited ...
London
Paris
Copenhagen
Tokyo
Mexico City
Also went to West Berlin in 1973 and 1989 (just before the wall came down), but it wasn't the capital of Germany then.

Is it any wonder why my generation can be so messed up?
