Memory-Triggering Avatars When you look at other people's avatars, do they ever conjure a memory? Possibly something completely unrelated to the Org or Prince?
The avatar that does that to me right now is : MOOBEAM'S ANNIE LENNOX AVATAR... ...because years ago, I met this guy at a friend's flat in Montreal. He was the much younger boyfriend of his rrommate, and for some reason, he was always listening to Touch's B-side, with all the fairly repetitive tracks. He found it soothing for some reason. Until then, I thought I was the only one. One year later, I learned he had died from AIDS at, like, 26 years old. I hardly knew him, and still Moonbeam's avatar brings him back from the depth of my memory. It's a good memory, about how therapeutic music can be. | |

I'm glad you like "Touch" as it is a phenomenal album- top 20 for me. As for avatars that trigger memories, I'll always remember Diva's eye. When I was just getting to know her, it always intrigued me, being an eye man and all. She certainly has not disappointed.  | |
