Who are these people?

madonna and piggybanks were two pigs who the crowdies adopted during the recording sessions for 'together alone'. perhaps they belonged to the owner of the house where they were recording? i don't know, hope someone else does. but pigs they are.

Two Questions:

First, in "Chocolate Cake," there is a line that reads "Kathy Straker, boy could she lose some weight." Who is Kathy Straker?

Kathy Straker is a made-up name according to this website: http://www.etext.org/lists/house/woodface/chocolate-cake.html

It also says that the band feared a real Kathy Straker would appear out of the woodwork and sue them for defamation.

But who knows. If you do a Google search, you do come up with some real live Kathy Strakers.

Happy hunting.

I seem to remember that Kathy Straker was a made-up name, as well.

Is it my imagination, or was there also some rumor that it might be referring to Oprah Winfrey? I don't know that it was ever substantiated, however.
