My point to add is that I find Alanis very WHINEY....every time I listen to
her songs the old adage..."would you like some cheese with that WHINE" comes
to mind.  Kate most certainly is not one to Whine.  Not to mention that
Alanis obviously needs to better prepare some of her less developed lyrics
as they go flat and raw on the most uncomfortable instances.  And if that is
her "ingenious" tool in use to better express her emotional...whatevers, I'd
just rather refrain from the tasting of such sour grapes!

able to get into the corners very well."
