Nor is she an artist. And her "music" is manufactured. As is the rest of the teen-pop that's out today.

How courageous, mocking other people's favorite music without even bothering to list any of your own.

Okay, for an antidote to prefab bubblegum pop:

ani difranco

Love: "You Had Time"

Like: "Untouchable Face"

Hate: "Out Of Range (Electric Version)"*


Kris Kristofferson

Love: "Casey's Last Ride"

Like: "Duvalier's Dream"

Hate: "Sunday Morning Comin' Down"

*For a given value of "hate"; I really don't hate any of ani's songs, but this is one I don't especially care for. And there are so very many I could put in category one and two: "I Know This Bar", "Lost Woman Song", "Fuel", "Both Hands"....
