"Thomas Paine came to America from Great Britain in 1774 when he was 37 years old. He burned with righteous indignation at the cruel tyranny of kings. Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."

Why are we so astonished that an overweight middle aged woman can sing? Oh yeah, it's because our society has taught us that only skinny, fake blonde, twenty somethings with nose jobs can sing. Stupid society. Good for her for sticking it to the man.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, the funny thing is, most of those blonds can't sing, but they are sooo "hot."
ReplyDeleteThis is more proof that beauty is more than what's on the surface.
