for my 17th birthday, i think, spencer gave me the replacements seminal album 'let it be'. whenever i hear 'i will dare', i can't help but think of her. she will be missed terribly. i do not doubt that she has joined the leagues of fellow 'pazz and jop' connoisseurs at the great rock show in the sky.

I Will Dare

"How young are you?
How old am i?
Let’s count the rings around my eyes
How smart are you?
How dumb am i?
Don’t count any of my advice

Oh, meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now I don’t care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I might dare

Call me on thursday, if you will
Or call me on wednesday, better still
Ain’t lost yet, so I gotta be a winner
Fingernails and a cigarette’s a lousy dinner
Young, are you?

Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don’t care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare"
