Yes, indeed, Carl, it would be a boring world if we were all the same.

I didn't dislike 'Candle in the Wind', but I found the Diana version, well ... the word 'mawkish' springs to mind.

Is it popular, generally, in the USA?

You know, there's general music knowledge, and then, there's what I know. And what I know is mostly what I like (and can remember) and what Marge introduces to me, and most of it it turns out that I like.

To get to the point, I'd have to ask Marge about if it is popular, genrally, in the USA. I think it is, because I think that the public perception of Diana is similar to that of Marilyn - a delicate and beautiful butterfly crushed way too soon.

And I realize that the public perception might not be accurate, let alone complete.

I do think the Candle in the Wind was better. I didn't think the Diana version mawkish, but I can see your point.

Perhaps a completely different song for Diana would have been better.
