Well who is that a reflection on? I comprehend her quite well. My interpretations of her songs even match very closely (sometimes perfectly) with her own explanations that she published long after I reached my own conclusions. > boring, Well, you're entitled to your opinion. > repetitive, and.... I'm sure you're missing 90% of the song through a TV speaker. > tries too hard to be "artistic". Well that's just something to be *real* ashamed of! And all these generalizations from one song! A song that was so different from everything she had done previously, that it pissed me off totally when I first heard it.... (Though her lyrics are usually just as "incomprehensible", the throbbing drone dance beat is something she just recently discovered....) > In all honesty, we much prefer Madonna. Or just about anyone else! Well, that says it all, doesn't it? -Doug Alan nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (or ARPA)
