I confess that I'm far out of the loop of pop culture, so I didn't have an
idea of who she was.  Then I  caught a reference somewhere to one of her
songs, and I got her album.  I was stunned by what she had to say, and by
how she spoke her mind.

I'm not looking to cause a war to erupt here 8-), but what's behind this
hostility?
