Inside the jewel case below where the cd is found is worded something to the effect of "This cd is dedicated to everyone who uses LA's stolen water and those who drowned in it." Or something like that.

Does anyone have the info on the LA water dept. dis?

Pure metaphor.

You might have to live here to 'get it.' Or, you could just try and watch some movies and read some books about 'the business.'

Did Billy Corgan write that too?

She probably sawChinatown the night before or something. What a genius.

No chance of me moving to LA, so what is the metaphor?

Read some Chandler, see Chinatown, maybe the Valley of the Dolls Movies, The Player, etc.

You'll get it eventually. It's no fun if someone gives it away.
