Don't write off Karen Finley so quickly, Chris!  She's actually quite
an amazing woman.  While her shtick, as it were, of yelling obscenities
(especially on her "Tales of Taboo" EP) and stage antics got her
dubbed by _The Boston Phoenix_ as "The Yam Lady", she's certainly
got a lot more there than meets the eye.  I saw her live when she
was in Boston and left profoundly moved and disturbed by the
vignettes of life she presented.

God damn, she also has a way with hecklers that sure made me green with
envy!

I'll post more if there's a demand for it...
