Re: Kate's music vs. others

I can only assume that the following is some sort of well-orchestrated joke. 
If so, I apologize in advance.  (And if it is, it's a very good one!) 
Either way, time to set the record straight for this poor person.

"Break Like The Wind" is by Spinal Tap, and is anything but Kate-like. 
Little Earthquakes is Tori's second album.  Happy Rhodes I know nothing
about, but I tend to question that description.

No, no, no!  SLTS is a Nirvana song that Tori covered and did a much better
job with it, too.

OK, with that closing it *must* be a joke.  Sorry to spoil it, but I hate to
think of anyone buying Spinal Tap expecting Kate-esque music.  That would be
the cruelest.

A quote from a New Order song: "Everything's Gone Green," maybe?
