My mother, the tabloid addict, has developed a conspiracy theory; one that I cannot dismiss as anything short of veddy intellestingk.

Foreword: While Fiona Apple was on tour last, I kept an I.M. relationship with Keith Lowe, the bassist of her band. Keith played with Joe, Jebin, Lucky, Matt, and of course, Fiona. (I always wondered if the guitarist, Lucky, really was named Lucky.) While they were in town, I chatted with Keith outside before the show. I gave him a copy of my CD entitled "To whom it may concern..." -- As you may know, Lisa Marie Presley released her album in April '03 with the same name as my album. Of course, it's always been a joke that she stole my album name.

Now Hear This: Lisa Marie's music director and co-writer is a guy named Michael Lockwood. He worked with her during the making of her album. They're reportedly dating now (it was that bit of information that caught my mom's eye). The article gave a mini bio on Michael and it turns out he's played with many other musicians, such as Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, Carly Simon, and Fiona Apple.

I researched...
....Lucky is Michael. Michael is Lucky. Keith had my CD.

Is it possible that my CD, while making it's rounds around the tour bus, found its way into the hands of Lucky/Michael who remembered the name and possibly suggested it to Lisa Marie? Was it possible that Lucky ended up with the CD at the end of the tour and stuffed in into his CD collection and she came across it one day and found herself with a great idea for the name of her album she was working on?

HMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
