She is such an interesting individual to only be... I think 19 years old. Much deeper than the average 19 year old. I did not realize there was a cleaned up version of the CD until after I bought it but was glad that I happened to buy that one. I have little tolerance for cheap/common expressions of the English language. ( I who regularly create a new word in my "too fast" head by combining two different words.) (There should be a word for that.) She does have fun with words and I can see a connection in that regard a little. My head enjoys her CD. She has a song called "I Want to Get Married" that is done in blues fashion dripping with sarcasm.
