ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS IS "BY THE WAY", IT IS ON MY IPOD PLAYLIST. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MRS. STREISAND WROTE IT! I WAS WATCHING THE INTERVIEW FROM THE UK PAUL O'GRADY, HE SAYS HOW HE LIKES "BY THE WAY" AND SHE SAYS SHE WROTE IT! I DID NOT KNOW THT AND JUST FOUND IT INTERESTING AND GREAT! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THAT SONG, AND NOW KNOWING SHE WROTE IT I LOVE IT EVEN MORE AND MAKES THE SONG EVEN BETTER!
