THE TOP TEN SONGS PEOPLE WROTE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE
that the other person probably wishes they hadn't
10. I’m Satisfied With You by Hank Williams
Although barely literate, and entirely degenerate, Hank Williams remains one of the most adroit lyricists in the history of popular music. He was, after all, the man who wrote masterpieces like You Win Again and Your Cheatin’ Heart. Its probably safe, therefore, to assume that he was aware of the tightrope he was walking with the song I’m Satisfied With You. Read the rest of this article here.

Well it was sunday bloody sunday
When they shot the people there
The cries of thirteen martyrs
Filled the free derry air
Is there any one amongst you
Dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was bleeding
When they nailed the coffin lids

As I scrolled down your blog that portrait of Alanis stunned me. That demonic smile just pierces through you. It’s been photoshopped to remove wrinkles which just helps to dehumanise her further.
Had to read the article twice as I just couldn’t quite focus past the image.
Medusan hair, marble skin, shoulders like a quarterback. Nude Alanis, you are a thing of divine delivered evil.
