This is the girl that was the vocalist with 10,000 Maniacs, this song was written by Natalie.She has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, ask yourself........when did you last hear her on daytime radio, go on, when. If the answer is that you've never heard her before, then don't you think there is something mightily wrong with the radio we are presented with? I once phoned our local station up, because I work in a place where the radio is on over the tannoy system, you can't get away from it, and it does my *!*!ing head in. So when I got home I phoned them, I was told that when they apply for the licence they have to say what the kind of music they will be playing, and they can't deviate from that. As far as I'm concerned it's nothing more than sanitisation of the airwaves, there's too much control. Another thing when did you last hear any protest songs on the radio, you have to listen to stations on at ridiculous hours to hear those kind of songs, they don't want the young people listening to anarchic stuff now, do they. I eventually got through to the top guy in the radio station and told him my thoughts, I ended up saying we needed another revolution of the airwaves, like we had back in the 60's with Pirate stations, he agreed! Just getting back to the music, hasn't she got a wonderful voice, I saw her live at the Manchester Apollo a few years ago, she is as good live as on disc.
