| + | __NOTOC__ |
| − | <blockquote>[[You Didn't Try To Call Me]] was written to describe a situation in which [[Pamela Zarubica]] found herself last spring. ([[Wowie Zowie]] is what she says when she’s not grouchy... who would guess it could inspire a song? No one would guess. None of you are perceptive enough. Why are you reading this?) The formal structure of [[You Didn't Try To Call Me]] is not revolutionary, but it is interesting. You don’t care.</blockquote>
