Guest evenflowDDT Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Is Hello the video where Lionel is trying to score with that blind woman? So that explains it... Yep. From a Rolling Stone interview... Speaking of your ballads, do you happen to have the bust that the blind woman sculpted from the "Hello" video? That bust went out with the video. It fell off the table in the middle of the last take. All I can tell you is I remember going to Giraldi, the director, and going, "It doesn't look like me, Bob." And he said, "Lionel . . . she's blind." Oh. OK. But I never kept the bust. I wish I had, I could put it on eBay.
