Reactions/Reviews

"Gayle and Morgan Dawn's "Play Me Backwards" vid has always been one of my absolute favorites, and seeing it in the emotionally charged atmosphere of a vid show was *so* wonderful. I was incredibly happy to have the chance. God, Vinnie suffers pretty. The lyrics are so great for Wiseguy all over the place, too.[1]

When I first saw this some time ago I story of the song was so clear in my head that the fannish adaptation didn't stand much of a chance. Seeing it again and just letting the images relate to the words this time it was extremely satisfying. Also, it was simply good to see a WG vid again after a hiatus.[2]
