   I really don't understand why some of you dislike Tori so much. I can 
understand why you don't like her music, but i really really don't know 
why so many Kate fans feel a need to take her apart. I'm not saying you 
were doing this, Hyp, just stating my bafflement at the whole thing. 
Anyway. Sheesh. Tori doesn't name her bootlegs. The title probably 
doesn't even have anything to do with anything on the boot. I mean, i 
have one called Sugar Baby, except Sugar isn't anywhere on it. It was 
probably just recorded in England and released by someone who thought 
that "Sweet Old England" was a good name. Yup, recorded at the Royal 
Albert Hall. There, so that's why.
