Yeah, but in America, she was virtually unheard of until Love And Anger hit
medium rotation on MTV.  Where *you* live you could just flick on the radio
and be overexposed to Wuthering Heights and the rest, but over here, you had
to discover her.

Nope, just living in a different country.

America is a very strange place.
