Subject: Speaking of accents

I've just started reading this conversation between you two and I find it quite interesting!

In case anyone is wondering what a Maryland/Baltimore accent sounds like, do NOT take your cues from John Travolta in the upcoming musical Hairspray. I saw him on Oprah saying he learned a Baltimore accent while filming Ladder 49 here, and he started talking in what I assume he considers a Baltimore accent, but he sounded Swedish or something! Oprah's version of the BMore accent was much more accurate (she lived here for almost 10 years, I think). Hopefully Mr. Travolta had an accent coach who kept him in line a little better during the actual filming of this movie.
