Agreed. She's been so erratic since that initial blowup, I'm honestly not sure if it is a brain tumor or a flawlessly executed piece of performance art on the astounding career of Charlie Sheen.

  Thanks for the correction. I'm not familiar with either one, so I was guessing, hence the (?). Love 'Fogtown' though, it closes out the disc with a decidedly different feel.

I realize that what makes this song work so well for me is the juxtaposition of the bright acoustic chords echoes by the throbbing bass. This remains one of her best recordings.

I have this CD (Short Sharp Shocked) and the version that I have is slightly different. Wonder why.
Great stuff, nevertheless.
One of her better CD's as well.
