Here's a funny coincidence from today's show.
We covered the latest divorce proceedings between Paul McCartney and his estranged wife, Heather Mills (and in a bizarre twist, Mills, who is representing herself, could end up cross-examining McCartney). WATCH VIDEO
Later in the morning, we also covered a little-known social disorder called selective mutism, which I wrote about earlier.
Here's the coincidence: even though few people have heard of selective mutism, you get the sense that McCartney not only has heard of it but has actually written a song about it.
Check out the lyrics to "She's Given Up Talking" from his 2001 album Driving Rain:
Don't say a word
Even in the classroom
Not a dickie bird
Unlike other children
She's seen and never heard
She's given up talking
Don't say a word
You see her in the playground
Standing on her own
Everybody wonders
Why she's all alone
Someone made her angry
Someone's got her scared
She's given up talking
Don't say a word
Ah but when she comes home
It's yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely
Like the water from a tap
Her brothers and her sisters
Can't get a word in edgeways
But when she's back at school again
She goes into a daze
Ah but when she comes home
It's yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely
Like the water from a tap
Her brothers and her sisters
Can't get a word in edgeways
But when she's back at school again
She goes into a daze
She's given up talking
Don't say a word
Even in the classroom
Not a dickie bird
Unlike other children
She's seen and never heard
She's given up talking
Don't say a word
She's given up talking
She don't say a word
