Sounds fabulous John. I've really grown to admire her music recently. And I loved her performance at the TNT Joni Mitchell tribute. As for Natalie Merchant, I certainly didn't mean to open such a can of worms when I mentioned to Mark that I could 'hardly stomach her.' To me, she ranks about even with Lisa Loeb and just below Stevie Nicks--which isn't all that horrible. I agree that we should go back to dissing Celine Dion and Jewel (not to mention Melissa Etheridge and the pretentiously spelled k.d. lang) who are much worse in my book. And as for Britney Spears...we won't even go there! ;~) I mean really, where are PJ Harvey, Sam Phillips, Penelope Houston, or even Maggie Estep (too funny)--among many other notables--on the charts?
