• "My friend, O' Lordy

Went to take care of her own body She got shot down in the road She looked up before she went She said "This isn't really what I meant" And the daily news said 2 with 1 stone"

• • Sheryl Crow, "Hard to Make a Stand"

• "We lived our dreams and challenged fate

In tears she told me she was late Then Sally let his pidgeons out to fly She left one night with just a nod Was lost in some back alley job I close my eyes and Sally's pidgeons fly"

• • Cyndi Lauper, "Sally's Pidgeons"

• "If you look at the issue, you'll see that this isn't about the children. There are children starving in the sewers of Persia. There are babies in the AIDS wards, chucked out into the streets like...cabbage. If this were really about the children, they'd be doing something about the children that are already here. I don't play that game."
