Hey Stephane (and anyone else who know about it) ---

Can you tell me more about this Pink cover (or is it a mash-up?)  
What's its origin? How did you come across it? The only reason I ask  
is because the mere mention of Pink in my article about the `Joke  
could give it a longer life-span on MTVNews.Com (because, as tragic  
as it is, the "kids" care about Pink -- - god knows fucking why!  
Death cannot come swiftly enough to her, as far as I'm concerned).  
Anyway -- lemme know when you can. Cheers!

Alex in NYC
