Bette Davis Eyes?
I thought it was Daryl Dawkins Thighs.

Bette Davis Eyes? Worst song, ever.

Princess Di seems to have had a hug following among homosexual men for some reason.

This was one of the finest things written about Diana. I never understood the attraction. Mark said everything I have felt about this petulant little girl who really had no business being in the royal family. Her finest contribution were the sons. But who knows how they would have turned out had she lived. She died while dating a man because her life became embarrassing the royal family. Once again Mark Stein shows he is the best writer of our times.9

The more I learned about Charles and Di, the less I thought of both of them but I guess Charles was the worse of the two.

Made me think of “Funeral for a friend”, or is it Daniels song. Ax the vocals and the score is beautiful. Timeless!

I’ll always love Princess Diana.
She was too good for the “royal” family.

She was active in efforts to fight AIDS, so that could be why she has a following among homosexuals.

I liked the remake “Marty Feldman Eyes.”

When Dianna made plain her desire to marry a Muslim the Crown was put into the position of one day having to deal with one of her children being a Muslim convert or a child she may have born while being married to a Muslim being in line or perhaps sitting on the throne of England. Since Henry the Eighth ruled only a member of the Church Of England could sit on the throne she set her fate in motion. I'm firmly convinced her mother-in-law had her killed. It certainly wouldn't be the first time in the long torturous and bloody history of the English Monarchy that a princess had been killed.

Weird memory, 1997, it was the middle of the night (Rocky Mtn time) and I woke up in a motel room to this playing loudly from the TV..... I was with a group of friends about to take off on a river rafting trip early the next morning, and for some reason the friend I was sharing a room with had to turn this on very loudly at what was 3 am or so (I think) our time...... so I got to "experience" it in a dreamy stupor and then hit the water a few hours later, with Diana's funeral permanently associated with river rafting for me!

I don’t know of any reason to believe anyone “had her killed” — a drunken security guy was driving far too fast trying to get away from paparazzi, and she was foolishly not wearing a seatbelt.

How’s that? No child she had by another man while divorced from the Prince of Wales would possibly be in line for the throne under any circumstances.

Maybe, but I suspect she was already a fag hag before becoming concerned about the gay plague.

And Keiths repertoire is limited to three chords; maybe sometimes a 7th

The two children she had by Charles are in line to the throne after Charles is. That was her main job. To provide heirs to the throne. She planned to marry Dodi Faheed , a Muslim. At the time before her death this caused a bit of a stir in the UK.
