Of all of the songs on the CD, _Me and a Gun_ is the one that I 
find stays with me constantly.  It's definitely the most painful 
to listen to and is not my favorite song on the album but I just 
can't seem to keep it off my mind.

I'm really glad to see that Tori isn't interested in
comparisons with Kate or any other female artist.  It seemed like
she almost took offense at the suggestion- not because she
doesn't like Kate, but because it's something that is generally
done when discussing female artists.  I tend to describe
my favorite singers in a way that most people can relate to-
and it just happens that Kate and Tori have vaguely similar
styles, so it's easiest to use that comparison.
