this is an interview from metal-rules.com...and here's what tony said about this song
That brings me to a question about a character that´s been in, mentioned in, well one song was dedicated to the character and mentioned in another and that is "Dana O'Hara". It´s in "Letter To Dana" and it´s in "Shy" from successor and there´s a line in there: "You can´t be acting like my Dana.. I was wondering if this character is made up or is it based on any real person that you know of?
No, I don´t think any people that I know actually know my music. I won't use anybody's names and their reference is there but only they can notice maybe. But Dana....whew...X-Files! (both laughing) I needed a name [Letter to Scully (laughs] I thought Dana would be nice. It was written back when it was a new series I think. So when I went and wrote the track "Shy" I put the same name there and to see if people will notice it....and they have! This is a very popular question y'know? [I bet! The lyrics do sound like a true, but sad, story].
ok that's it......there's no god damn real dana!!!
i found it out all by myself!!
