have you ever thought of any weird vanessa connections?
here's mine-
-in the summer of 2002 (i think.. was it 2002?) vanessa carlton toured with third eye blind and the goo goo dolls.
- as the encore to many of these shows, vanessa sang "american girl" (originally by tom petty and the heartbreakers) with johnny, the lead singer of the before-mentioned goo goo dolls.
- whenever i heard people talking about this duet encore (this was before "big yellow taxi"), i immediately thought they were talking about the rocking counting crows' song, "american girls"
- lo and behold, "big yellow taxi" was released shortly after, a duet between vanessa carlton and the counting crows. she also recently performed in a san francisco concert with the counting crows.
strange coincidence? perhaps. reading a bit far into this connection? perhaps.
but hey, i thought it was cool.
