Okay.  I need help.  I only know "Oh Superman" and as interesting as it 
is, I'm tempted to say "So what?"  Like a metafictional piece that does 
not need to be read again (and not something wowing me as far as 
technique goes like Robert Coover's fiction).  So I ask you all.  Could 
you give me examples of some lyrics she does, some clever twists, and 
what's her best album?  I'll at least print your results and file them 
away, if anything.  Then again, who knows?  I may even buy an album if 
there's really a lot good stuff going on with her.
