And if you see her live, it's actually shocking — she can't carry a tune in a catcher's mitt, and wanders around the stage looking confused. She is AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. |

I'm glad you got the ham-handed irony. Hang on, I'm sure some White Stripes or other commercial waste will come along and perk you up soon enough.

My thoughts exactly. Here I was all ready to hammer down some criticism ("White flag" and "Life for rent" routinely annoy me to the point where I have to switch channels), but this was actually a beautiful, understated, non-annoying song. 7. |

It's also my upload.It is too bad some people are turned off by her "hits" and commercial success. She is way beyond that. She is actually quite sublime. Rare are those who can shorten the distance between one's head and one's heart, finding the right spot to touch with words and nuance. |
