it's your own choice and divine right to rashly suggest that
bacharach/david's song "wi****n and hopin" is not of the same "caliber"
as ms. di franco's crunchy ouvre, and i'm not going to argue with you
exept to say that i profoundly disagree.
i bet many of the prolific ms. difranco's songs have the potential to
be pop hits (like 31flavors), but bacharach/david were a deep,
swinging, consistently affecting pop machine.
their songs are *timeless and *universal**.
perhaps ms. di franco's songs will have the same staying power and
universal accessibility of bacharah/david's ****load of golden,
world-wide hits, but i personally doubt it.
i think she is a good role model.
more power to her for doing her own thing and refusing to change her
underwear i mean change her image for anyone.
