Why not some sleeping pills? MJ told her that the pills don't work for him. Lee refused to comply to his wishes. In fact, she was not even familiar with the drug. She had to ask a doctor friend of hers to find out what it was. Diprivan is an intravenous drip used for inducing sedation for going into surgery or for certain procedures such as intubation. It is not something that is generally given at a residence. It is generally given while in an ICU unit because constant and close cardiac and respiratory monitoring is required due to its narrow therapeutic window (i.e., a little too much can be fatal).

If so, I don't get it.</blockquote> I think the reason why no one is jumping Fonzerelli's back is because this release is not trying to usurp anything away from Adam or use him in any way(unlike with Hi-Fi). It's not claiming to be his big summer release or his signature sound or any of that stuff that completely riled the fanbase. And Adam got paid for this gig ages ago as a session singer or whatever, so he's not being short-changed.

Well over half of that in the top 3. ^^^weareallinnocent, I saw that that thread was slowly getting to the bottom of the sidebar, so I’m glad you posted this here. Wow, just wow!

The song's structure isn't nearly as bizarre as the writer makes it out to be. It's a bit unusual, but it's not "a mess" or "nutty" as the writer called it. It's essentially a pretty standard verse-verse-chorus, solo-verse-chorus sequence, with a different chorus (the famous one) added at the end. The writer calls the initial chorus a "bridge", but it's really just a different chorus -- and thus it's not that weird a structure. Journey also did something similar in Girl Can't Help It, adding essentially a different chorus toward the end of the song (and that chorus is the most beautiful passage of Journey music I know of, btw). If you want a Journey song that really <em>is</em> pretty weird, check out the title song from the Escape album -- it's pretty much two complete songs in one. (It's also one of their two or three best hard-driving songs, along with Keep On Runnin' and maybe Stone In Love.)
