I've heard "Jagged Little Pill" "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" the one with Utopia on it. And I have a cassingle thats got a couple songs of Infat. Junkie off it and one other one where she is real mad.> as far as utopia goes, would we really be able to function/survive w/out going insane in such a society/world? remember the Matrix where humans rejected the program in which they were living in a perfect world with no pain or discomfort?
I worry about her being all sweetness and light one minute and raging at all the guys who have victimised her the next... Though, to be fair she was more angry early on and that was the last song of her last album...
> I often wonder if Alanis has a touch of BPD. i can't even begin to draw references from her music that sounds BPDish to me. What do you think?Yeah. Pretty classic.
:-)I think thats why I was such a fan.
I could relate.But now I worry about her contribution, her role in the constant unjustices. I think some of that comes out unwittingly in her songs. Even though its toned down since "Jagged Little Pill"
