Well, how beautifiul. How astonishing it really is, to realise that Richard Carpenter was actually a disgusting pervert who liked to have anal intercourse with his own sister!! That is the be-all and end-all of what you're saying, isn't it? Or could it be that you're so swayed by the force of urban myth that you reckon that Richard Carpenter spent most of 1982 with his penis inserted deep into his sister's amaciated anus? Or are you (perish the thought!) so brain-dead through years of National Enquirer-lead bullshit that you cannot sort the vomitously disgusting idea that (a) Karen Carpenter had one of the most painfully introspective voices in contemporary music *without* resorting to either (a) the idea that she had fellatio with close blood relatives or (b) she just happened to rely on him so much that when then the crunch came, his bid for independence was more than she could bear? Don't want to spoil the party, or anything!!! God Bless! Adam
