Let me begin this post by stating this is much more than a critique of music. It is, like much of my work, and exploration of a different perspective. Let us begin. Women have been repossessing their stuff from men for a long time now. “The clothes on his back, I buy them. The car … Continue reading »
Tonight I was talking to a good friend who finally got an answer to a prayer she’d been praying for a long time: a new car. There were a few hiccups at the dealership, but, as of tomorrow she’ll have a new car. However, she couldn’t help but think, analyze, and mull over what she’ll … Continue reading »
