big time. Charisma has a bit of history with the latter group. Before they
hit it big, a friend used to date a band member ans she was always being
invited to their live gigs. She never went. "Then, I started hearing the
music on the radio and I loved it. Then I saw Jakob Dylan's blue eyes on
MTV. Then, I started listening to the words-- they're so complex! I still
haven't figured out what all the song means. And you've gotta love a song
you can't figure out in 4 minutes." She wrote them a fan letter, congratulating

Vampires, Yes or No: "No! God, I hope
they're not for real. I'm not into the whole goth scene. I was never into
vampires and blood and gore, but the way they're incorperated into the
show is cool. I guess the show has exposed me to [something] I might not
have gotten to experience otherways."
