Stupid little fact

[edit]

In Patti Smith's live version of My Generation found on the reissue of Horses, she sings "I'm so young, I'm so goddamned young." Near the end of "Poor Little Rich Boy", Ms. Spektor sings "YOU'RE so young, you're so goddamned young." Coincidence? I hope not. Eyeball kid 05:06, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Having just listened to the album for the first time (and being very happy to find the version with the DVD) I did catch a number of lyrical references to other songs, so this was probably not a coincidence as Spektor probably is quite familiar with Patti Smith's work. 23skidoo 21:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First major release?

[edit]

Although this is her third album, is it also correct to say it was her first widespread release? My understanding is her first two discs were pretty limited releases (and aren't even available on CD anymore so I hear). 23skidoo 22:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this original research?

[edit]

"The title is drawn from Milan Kundera's expression for the vacuous aesthetics of Stalinist-style communism, a theme in his book The Unbearable Lightness of Being."

Can this be cited? It is left unclear whether this is actually confirmed by Regina Spektor or if it is speculation. It's probably true, but it shouldn't be on here unless it can be directed to another source.
